The Sword And The Dove
Romans 15:33 pronounces a magnificent blessing. “May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.” In Philippians 4:9, the Holy Spirit confirms this blessing for believers, saying, “The God of peace shall be with you.” He is the God of peace. That’s why, in Matthew 5:9, Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Some struggle to reconcile this with what Jesus said in Matthew 10:34-36. “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be the members of his household.”
