" He beheld the city " as He beholds London, " and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known the things which belong unto thy Peace."— Luke xix. 41, 42. This Peace is the opposite of Fear. " The Lord said, Peace be unto thee; fear not."—( Jude vi. 23.) and Now, as God of Peace, He offers Pardon, Peace, Joy and Glory, to every poor sinner who repents and trusts in the Risen Jesus, as his Peace, his complete Salvation. Peace was announcedattheBirth of Jesus, bequeathed at His Death, proclaimed in Resurrection. Let us listen now to seven things that are told us about this Peace in God's Word. ( 1) " Jesus Christ made Peace by the Blood of His Gross."— Col. i. 20. ( 2) " He came and Preached Peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh."— Eph. ii. 17. ( 3) He left it as His legacy. Peace I leave with you, my Peace I give unto you."— John xiv. 27. ( 4) He would have us consciously enjoy it. " We have Peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ."— Rom. v. 1, and that not in small measure, for ( 5) " The God of Hope fill you with all joy and Peace in believing."— Rom. xv. 13 ; not fitfully, for ( 6) " The Peace of God. which passeth all under- standing, shall keep your hearts and minds."— Phil. iv. 7 ; and finally. He entreats us; ( 7) " Let the - Peace of God rule in your hearts."— Col. iii. 15. " Acquaint now thyself with Him and be at Peace ; thereby good shall come unto thee." '' Peace be within" thee."
