PUBLISH PEACE
As Children of the Covenant, we have a special opportunity to publish the peace of Jesus Christ. Let us “Bring Good Tidings” to everyone – everywhere. Isaiah 52:7
Jesus Christ Taught
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:35
President Nelson Added
The Savior’s message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire—no matter how difficult the situation. True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers.
