This is not worldly
peace, not the peace of indifference, not the peace of sloth, not
the peace of self-indulgence, not the peace of fatalism; but it is
the peace of Christ—”My peace.” Looking back we can see that the
Master preserved His peace with God under all conditions. It is a
peace which implicitly trusts to the Divine wisdom, love, justice
and power, a peace which remembers the gracious promise made to the
Lord’s faithful, that nothing shall by any means hurt His faithful,
and that all things shall work together for good to them that love
God. This peace can accept by faith whatever Divine providence
permits, and can look through its tears with joyful expectancy, for
the ultimate blessings which the Master has promised, and of which
the present peace and joy are merely foretastes. |
