Jesus leads us from mere religious holiness to relational wholeness. He is teaching us how to be "perfect" in mercy, not just morality.

Disciples of Jesus are meant to live together in ways that spread the light of God’s love.

Disciples of Jesus are meant to get out of the saltshaker and into the world.

Peacemaking is inherently evangelistic. The Gospel is the message that Jesus brings us peace with God and with one another.

Peacemaking goes beyond being nonviolent to actively engaging in the work of mediation and reconciliation.
