J.C. Pittman, 1917
To such, Christ bequeaths His own peace. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you!" John 14:17.
It is a peace, said our Lord, unlike that which the world bestows. It is of a much higher kind — a peace which is peculiar to Christ, uninfluenced by the adverse forces of the world; a peace "which surpasses all understanding!" Philippians 4:7
The possession of such peace does not render us immune from conflict — but it . . .
gives us calmness of soul amid the fiercest strife,
guards our hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus,
and imparts the utmost assurance of ultimate victory!
