Jesus said in Matthew 18:20, “Wherever two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Is it possible that what he really meant to say was “Wherever two or three are gathered, there will be problems"? It certainly seems to be true anyway. In a world saturated with conflict peacemaking is tough work. But for those who would follow after Jesus, peacemaking is part of the call.
