Our country has always waged war for what it believed to be just causes. We have fought for freedom and human dignity. If these ends could ever be truly achieved, all wars could end. Isaiah, in his Old Testament book, speaks of a day that is free of armed conflict. He describes it as a time that swords shall be fashioned garden hoes. The natural enemies of nature shall exist side by side and eat a com- mon food, instead of each other. The child shall roam unharmed in the wilds of nature. This is a time of peace in which all wars have ended. Memorial Day is a day to remember all those who have given their lives in hopes of this warless age. It is also a time to look to the future age promised by God - the age of eternal peace. In memory of those who have given themselves in the cause of peace, we are called to work for peace on our age and long for the eternal peace of God. One important work for peace in our age is to accept the per- sonal peace that God offers in our own lives. The relationship we find as we meet Christ in a personal way grants deep inner peace. As we give ourselves to the “Prince of Peace,” we come to understand that the world "does not turn around our feel- ings. We learn to win by losing, gain by giving, conquer by lov- ing. Peace on a world scale must begin within the lives of God’s children. Another important effort, we as individuals can make for world peace is prayer. The witness of scripture and our per- sonal experience affirm the state- ment “prayer changes things.” Prayers for peace can change the attitudes and actions of world leaders. They can begin the rule of the “Prince of Peace” in the hearts and lives of men. Special seasons of prayer for world peace are helpful in causing us to focus on the issue. Finally, if we are to take - Memorial Day seriously we must “work for peace. Jesus’ Sermon of the Mount calls us to take the matter of peacemaking seriously. Matthew records “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the Son’s of God.” Jesus not only talked about peace in his age, he went about making it. He helped people make peace with themselves and with God. Jesus also made peace with the Samaritans, the natural enemies of the Jews. It is this mandate for peacemaking that we are called to live out in our age. To be peacemakers we must work for peace. We must take positive steps to make our world a less violent place. There are as many ways to work for peace as there are people. Some have chosen to oppose the develop- ment of nuclear arms and call for a freeze of all existing nuclear arms. Other groups have begun to attack the root causes of unrest in the world. They have launched educational and food relief programs in the “third world.” Still others have sought to promote world understanding, by assembling the worlds natural enemies together on peaceful ground for discussion and inter- change. The approaches to world peace are endless, but if we are truly peacemakers, we must be involved in them at some level. On this Memorial Day, let us remember those who have given their lives for the cause of peace and freedom. Let us remember them actively as we work at be- ing peacemakers in our violent world. Let us work for peace over against the day when all wars shall end and the “Prince of Peace” shall reign forever and forever. RADIO DEVOTIONS Rev.
