Courageous Peace, Abigail | Shawn Williams
Manage episode 447283432 series 2319
What does it mean to be a peacemaker, not a peacekeeper? Which one of those do you think requires the most courage? Abigail in the Bible shows us what real peacemaking can achieve; she saves the lives of her entire family! But puts herself at great risk to do so. Most of the time, being a peacemaker is much harder than being a peacekeeper; because it means sticking your own neck out on the line and that’s hard for anyone unwilling to lead with peace to do. But we would want someone to lead from the front for us, right? Someone willing to go for peace and the greater good for everyone. And that’s what we should be praying for when we pray for our leaders, and ourselves.
