Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you....John 14:27
How perfect is the peace which the risen Savior gives to His people! It is His own peace, which the HEad gives to His members. It is a blood-bought peace. It is God's peace, ordained by Him and beloved of Him as His chosen rest--a peace which passeth all understanding, and which is secure from all the interruptions and adverse influences of the world.
Jesus has made peace between God and man (the Father Himself, the God of peace, sending Him for this purpose to His "enemies:); peace between angels and reconciled sinners, between Jew and Gentile. In Himm all things which are in heaven and which are on each shall be gathered together. He is the Peace and Bond of the whole creation. Blessed are all who dwell in Salem, who are in Christ. Adolph Saphir
Thou hast touched me and I have been translated into thy peace. Augustine
