The sermon presents the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 as a divine revelation of kingdom life, contrasting the world's expectations of power and victory with Christ's call to internal righteousness, humility, and spiritual longing. Central to this message is the truth that genuine kingdom citizenship—marked by mourning, meekness, hunger for righteousness, and mercy—only emerges through spiritual rebirth and faith in Christ. The peacemaker, far from being a passive figure, is one who has been reconciled to God through Christ's atonement and now lives in peace with God and others, embodying the fruit of the Spirit. This peace is not the absence of conflict but the triumph over sin and enmity, resulting in a life devoted to God's glory. The sermon concludes with a call to personal faith, emphasizing that only those who are born again and live Christ can fulfill the Beatitudes, and that salvation is found in confessing Christ as Lord and believing in His resurrection.
