TRANSCRIPT

How CanMaking Peace

Make Joy?

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Matthew 5:9

Peace – Pax

Shalom – שלום

Pyeong Hwa – 평화 ( 平和 )

Good people, families or nations can be linked horizontally among themselves on an equal footing. Where there is equality, then there can be peace. Pyeong ( 平 ) from the word pyeong hwa has the meaning of even, flat, horizontal. Without pyeong, even if hwa ( 和 ), harmony, exists, peace will soon disappear.

David had just said, “It’s been useless—all my watching over this fellow’s property in the wilderness so that nothing of his was missing. He has paid me back evil for good. May God deal with David, be it ever so severely, if by morning I leave alive one male of all who belong to him!”

1 Samuel 25:21-22

Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him and said, “Go home in peace. I have heard your words and granted your request.”

1 Samuel 25:35

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Matthew 10:34

when the heart is set right, then the personal life is cultivated; when the personal life is cultivated, then the family life is regulated; when the family life is regulated, then the national life is orderly; and when the national life is orderly, then there is peace in this world.

Confucius, Book of Rites
