This Matthew 5 9 Peacemakers coloring page highlights the beautiful message of peace Jesus shared in the Sermon on the Mount. As my third graders colored, I could hear their chatter about how they can be peacemakers at school and home. The pages include a scene of children holding hands and symbols of peace like doves, which really resonate with them. I love seeing how excited they get when they realize they can embody Jesus' teachings.
