THE WAY OF PEACE

‘To guide our feet into the way of peace.’

Luke 1:79

The Lord Jesus Christ:—

I. Brought peace.—It was the burden of the angels’ Christmas song—‘on earth peace.’

II. Made peace.—‘He made peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:20). ‘Peace with God.’ ‘Therefore,’ says St. Paul, speaking for all believers, ‘He is our peace’ (Ephesians 2:14). Peace was His dying legacy: ‘Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you.’

III. Imparts peace.—The living Christ comes, His hands full of gifts; among those priceless gifts, peace, perfect peace!—‘the very peace of God which passeth all understanding.’

—Rev. F. Harper.
