Our Continual Portion of Peace

“Go in peace.” – Luke 7:50

“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.” – John 14:27

Beloved friends, as you go to your families, as you go through life, as you go into eternity, I pray you to “go in peace.” It is heaven begun below to possess “the peace Of God, which passeth all understanding.” Peace should be the continual portion of all believers. This is what the angels sang when our Lord Jesus appeared on earth, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill to-ward men.” And as it was at tho beginning of Our Saviour’s life, so it was at the end, for this was our Lord’s legacy to all His disciples, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you.” That which gives one of His titles even to God Himself-for He is called “the God of peace,”-should be very precious to your soul.

Peace is the fit result of what the Saviour has done for you. Has He forgiven you? Then you have peace. Has He saved you? Oh, then, feel an inward peace which none can take from you! Did He die for you? Then you can never die, in the full meaning of the word, so be at rest about that matter. Has He risen for you? Then, because He lives, you shall live also; so, let not your heart be troubled, but be at peace. Will He come again to receive you unto Himself? Oh, then, let your peace be like a river flowing from the very throne of God! ~ C.H. Spurgeon
