John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto
you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let
not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Peace is an invaluable blessing, it is the
gift of Jesus.
None but believers know the sweetness of the
peace He bestows.
He made it by shedding His blood.
He proclaims it in the everlasting gospel.
He bestows it upon us when we believe, and it
is enjoyed in the heart under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
It is peace with God.
A peaceful conscience.
The beginning of heaven in the soul.
He gives it often when in the midst of
trouble; and it makes every burden light, every trouble less, and the sinner
happy in every situation.
O Jesus! give us thy peace this morning!
Let it reign and rule in our hearts this day.
Believer, look only to Jesus for peace, for “HE
IS OUR PEACE.”
Believe His word, receive His atonement,
trust in His perfect work, aim to show forth His praise, and peace which passeth
all understanding shall fill your mind.
Let it be your daily prayer, that you may
enjoy this peace in death; for then you will die happy, honorably, and safely.
Seek it as a gift of grace, and you shall enjoy
it to honour of God.
You can receive peace from God, though you
cannot make your peace with God.
Close to my Saviour’s bloody tree,
My soul untired shall ever cleave;
Both scourged and crucified for me,
With Christ resolved to die and live;
My prayer, my grand ambition this,
Living and dying to be His.
James Smith
