Jesus Christ was born two thousand yeas ago in Palestine. Today his followers are more numerous than those of any other religion. The teachings of Jesus Christ are enshrined in the New Testament. They show that Jesus Christ laid the greatest emphasis on God-worship, love of human beings, service of mankind, spiritual development, rising above materialism, treating others well, even if they do not reciprocate, and so on. All these virtues, unrelated to war and violence, stem from the possession of a superior set of values. And all these values can be established in society by persuasion rather than coercion.

The teachings of Christ in the New Testament tell us clearly that peace was so important to him that he enjoined the establishment of peace at all costs. In one of his sermons, Christ observed:

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. (5: 9)

This shows that, according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, the most blessed task is to establish peace in the world, peace in family life, peace in social life, peace in national life, peace in international life. The following observation of Jesus Christ is perhaps a realization of this peaceful world:

Your kingdom come - Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (6: 9)
