On the Festival of All Saints, the Gospel reading is from Matthew 5. Jesus says "blessed are the peacemakers." Who is the true Peacemaker among us? His name is Jesus! For the Devil stands before the Lord God accuses God's people, and Jesus stands to advocate for sinners. Even as Jesus advocates for us and has made us at peace with the Father, so now our joyful task is to seek peace with one another.
