Jesus is the Prince of Peace and He calls us to be Peacemakers as well.
In his book, The Peacemaker, Ken Sande highlights four biblical perogatives for Conflict Resolution:
i. Glorify God: How can I please and honor God in this situation?
ii. Get the Log out of Your Own Eye: How can I show Jesus’ work in me by taking responsibility for my contribution to this conflict?
iii. Gently Restore: How can I lovingly serve others by helping them take responsibility for their contribution to this conflict?
iv. Go and Be Reconciled: How can I demonstrate the forgiveness of God and encourage a reasonable solution to this conflict?
Each week during Advent we will examine the scriptures that help us to become better peacemakers.
