Peacemaking, Not Peace-Faking

This week on Black, White, and the Red Letters, Jay and Ed walk straight into two of Jesus’ most uncomfortable blessings—because they don’t let you hide behind “good intentions.” From Matthew 5:8–9, we talk about what it means to be pure in heart (not perfect… single-minded)—a heart that’s been washed by God and keeps coming back to the sink when motives get muddy. Then we hit peacemaking—not peace-faking, not avoidance with a halo—real, gospel-shaped reconciliation that moves toward the fracture with truth and tenderness. If you’ve been performing clean on the outside while your heart’s been a mess on the inside… or if you’ve been dodging hard conversations and calling it “unity”… Jesus has something to say. #Beatitudes #PureInHeart #Peacemakers
