True Peace in Keeping God at the Center – Edward B. Pusey

True peace is when the soul revolves around its center, Almighty God, craving for nothing but what God continually supplies. Since the soul is large enough to contain the infinite God, nothing less than Himself can satisfy or fill it.

Jesus is our Peace – Nathan Johnson

(Peace is) not a feeling. It’s not an emotion. It’s not a “pill” that God gives us. …When we ask God for peace … He gives us Himself, for He is our peace (Ephesians 2:14).

Christ Left Us His Peace – Matthew Henry

[When] Christ died, He left a will in which He gave His soul to His Father, His body to Joseph of Arimathea, His clothes to the soldiers, and His mother to John. But to His disciples, who had left all to follow Him, He left not silver or gold, but something far better—His PEACE!

Rest for the heavy-laden – Hudson Taylor

To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, “Come to me and rest.” But there are many toiling, heavy-laden believers, too. For them this same invitation is meant. Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with your service… “Come to me and rest.” Never, never did Christ send a heavy laden one to work.
