Jesus in Matthew 5:9 said the peacemakers will be called the sons of God. Sons in the ancient world inherited from their fathers; daughters didn’t. So Jesus wasn’t excluding female peacemakers; He was promising that everyone who does the work of making peace will receive the blessing of sons. There’s a wonderful, little-known story in the New Testament of peacemaking. Paul gets involved in a dispute between Onesimus and Philemon when he didn’t have to. The impact of this action is bigger than anyone then could have foreseen.
