“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

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life… – John 3:36

“I should believe it,” says one, “if Jesus Christ spoke to me, and said so.” My dear friend, He has said it in His Word. Is that Word a lie, or is it true? If it is true, then what more do you want? Christ has written it in His Word; and I like a thing that is written even better than that which is spoken. You know how a man says, when he wants a guarantee about a bargain, “Give it to me in writing; for some people will swear that they never said what we ourselves heard them say, so give it me in black and white.” Well, here it is in black and white: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life;” and again, “There is therefore now”-“now,” mark,-“no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus;” and yet again, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

If all the men in the world were to come, one after another, after I had read something in the Bible, and were all to say, in their different languages, “That is a lie,” I should not believe it an atom the less; and suppose they were all to stand up, and say, “It is true,” I should reply, “Of course it is, but I do not need your word to confirm what Christ has said.” I am perfectly satisfied if He has said it; and there it stands, and all the powers of hell cannot prevail to overthrow it. Here is the solid rock for a soul to rest upon. Christ says, at this moment, to everyone who believes in Him, and trusts in His blood and righteousness, “Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. – Ephesians 2:8

“Thy faith hath saved thee.” – Luke 7:50

Jesus is so fond of faith that He takes the crown from His own head, and puts it on the head of faith, as He says to the woman, “Thy faith hath saved thee.” Is that a safe thing for Christ to do? Oh, yes! because faith at once removes the crown from her own head, and puts it back upon Christ’s, saying, “Not unto me, not unto me, but unto Thy name be all the glory.” Christ loves to crown faith because faith loves to crown Christ. As for boasting, faith cannot tolerate that for a moment; she hurls it out of the window, and will have nothing further to do with it. Our Saviour speaks thus, “Thy faith hath saved thee,” because He knows that it will be understood that faith is only the connecting link with Himself, that He really works the salvation, but that the faith of the believer is the means of obtaining it.

This woman’s faith was a personal faith. O dear friends, I implore you to give up all idea, of being saved by anybody else’s faith! Thou must believe in Jesus for thyself, or thou wilt be a lost man for ever. What a dreadful falsehood it is when men stand up, as sponsors for a child, and promise and vow various things, none of which are within their power to perform! Notice, next, that this woman’s faith was a practical faith. She was saved by faith, and not by works; but, she was not saved by a faith which did not produce works. Think of her works,-she washes the Master’s feet with her tears, and wipes them with the hairs of her head; she kisses them repeatedly, and anoints them with her precious ointment. I may truly say of her, “She hath done what she could.” The faith which saves is not a barren faith; it produces the good fruit of love and service for Christ, ~ C.H. Spurgeon

“Thy faith hath saved thee.” – Luke 7:48

“Thy faith hath saved thee.” This is something that is already accomplished. You are saved; not, you shall be saved; but you are even now in possession of the priceless boon of salvation: “Thy faith hath saved thee.” All through the Scriptures, and especially in the New Testament, it is plainly asserted that believers in Christ are already in possession of salvation… All that was necessary to save them from the result of sin has been endured by the Lord Jesus Christ. He has ransomed them by His death upon the cross. He has stood in their stead, and borne their sin in His own body on the tree, and suffered the full penalty for it. He has finished the transgression, and made an end of sin, and made reconciliation for iniquity, and brought in for them everlasting righteousness; so that they are saved. The great work of their salvation was completed by Christ upon the cross when He laid down His life for them, and now they are “bought with a price,” even “the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ, who cannot lie, hath declared “that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” … we accept God’s promise of salvation as being just as sure as the salvation itself. Paul tells us that God’s promise has been confirmed by an oath, “that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon

And He said unto her, “Thy sins are forgiven.” “Go in peace.”- Luke 7:48,50

He spoke to the woman these gracious words, “Thy sins are forgiven.” Oh, how they must have dropped like dew into her poor soul! How she must have been refreshed by them! She, who was a sinner, a great sinner, a public sinner–ay, a professional sinner! hears her Saviour say to her, “Thy sins are forgiven.” The absolution pronounced by the man who calls himself a priest is utterly worthless; but it would be worth while to give a thousand worlds, if we had them, for absolution from our great High Priest! Yes, He who knew all about the woman’s sin, He who had power on earth to forgive sins, had said to her, “Thy sins are forgiven.” Was not that enough for her? Would not that short sentence set all the bells of her heart ringing as long as ever she lived?

Ay, but there was still more to follow, for the Lord spoke to her a second time, and said, “Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” So she was not only delivered from the guilt of sin, but she was also delivered from the power of sin. Her faith had saved her; she was a saved woman, so she might go in peace. Now she is enjoying the sunlight of full assurance, the bright clear noontide of acknowledged acceptance: “Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” Some of us have this great blessing, and we rejoice in it; but if others of you have not come quite so far on the heavenly road, do not begin murmuring, or doubting. Bless the Lord Jesus Christ for any favour that He has shown to you, a poor unworthy sinner; and if you have even the faintest ray of light, pray Him to make your path like that of the just, which “shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” If you have received any token for good from your Lord, be thankful for it, and expect ere long to hear in your soul the sweet music of this gracious word, “Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.”~ C.H. Spurgeon
