“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.”
Read the story together
A short version of the story to read aloud before colouring, with questions to ask afterwards.
Jesus said that God blesses peacemakers, and that they would be called children of God. Peacemakers help people move from an argument toward understanding. They can listen to both sides, use calm words and look for a fair solution. Making peace does not mean ignoring danger or forcing people to be friends before they are ready. A trusted adult can help when a disagreement is difficult. Jesus' words showed that people who make peace reflect God's care. We can practise peace when we share, take turns, apologise and accept an apology. Small steps can help a friendship grow again.
Questions to ask
- What are the children sharing?
- What could you say to help two friends make peace?
- Why might a trusted adult help when an argument is difficult?
