“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us” (Ephesians 2:14).

During my time at Bible College, I had a friend in the same class by the name of Steve. Steve grew up with his parents in the jungles of Irian Jaya. They were missionaries to the Sawi people – a tribe of primitive head-hunters who worshipped demons and practiced cannibalism.

The Sawi glorified treachery. And as Steve’s parents began to tell them how God had sent His Son, and how He was betrayed by Judas, the Sawi began to laugh. Because to them Judas was the hero of Gospel story.

The missionaries began to pray that God would provide a way for them to communicate the Gospel. About that time circumstances erupted into a full scale tribal war with a neighbouring village. The war continued for months until one day something unexpected happened.

An entourage from the opposing tribe came into the Sawi village and presented to the Sawi chief a new-born son from the enemy village. According to local custom, if the Sawi accepted the gift of this child there would be peace between the two tribes as long as this child lived.

The child was known as the peace-child.

The missionaries saw this as their opportunity to communicate the Gospel. They shared that “All have sinned….” That because of sin, man is at enmity with God. But that God in His love and mercy gave His only Son and that peace with God can be restored by accepting His Son’s sacrifice as payment for their sins.

Today there is a church in that Sawi village, and this Christmas season they too will be thanking God for His peace child, Jesus Christ.
