About this listen

 WHAT is Peace? We read much of it in the Bible, and we see something of it the varied picture of human life. It is the calm and settled happiness, which has its abiding-place deep down in the Christian's heart. It is the quiet repose of the soul which has found relief and satisfaction in Christ, and exists even amidst the trials and worries of this turbulent world. We sometimes see the mighty ocean lashed by storms, and tossed to and fro. But if we could look beneath the surface, we should find a calmness and rest ever reigning there, uninfluenced by the upper currents, and unruffled by the tempests which rage above. Such is the Christian's Peace, amid.st the turmoil of the outer world. Again, there is a difference between Peace and Joy. One is the nasty ebullition of a glad heart; the other is the staid, settled happiness of the inner soul. The one is evanescent, and soon leaves us, like the momentary blaze of thorns under a pot, which kindles a spasmodic flame for an instant, and then goes out: the other has an abiding-place within us. The one has usually a sudden rise, and is perhaps as suddenly checked; the other is deep and lasting. The one is like the clear, sparkling outpour of a spring which issues from the mountain-side; the other is like that same spring in its calm, quiet course, as it threads its way through the valley below. The World often affords us Joy; Christ alone gives us Peace. Peace is the privilege and inheritance of God's people. Both present Peace and future Peace are theirs — imperfect Peace now, and perfect Peace hereafter. It is a Grant from above, from the Lord Himself It was the parting Legacy to His chosen ones. 'Peace' (said the Saviour) 'I leave with you; my peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.' It may be the portion of us all; and yet how many come short of it, either from not seeking for it where it is to be found, or forfeiting it owing to some faults of theirs.
