Oswald Chambers: Peace - Life in the Spirit預覽

We talk about the peace of Jesus, but have we ever realized what that peace was like? Read the story of His life, the thirty years of quiet submission at Nazareth, the three years of service, the slander and spite, back-biting and hatred He endured, all unfathomably worse than anything we shall ever have to go through; and His peace was undisturbed, it could not be violated. It is that peace that God will exhibit in us in the heavenly places; not a peace like it, but that peace. In all the rush of life, in working for our living, in all conditions of bodily life, wherever God engineers our circumstances—“My peace”—the imperturbable, inviolable peace of Jesus imparted to us in every detail of our lives. Your touch still has its ancient power. Touch me, Lord, into fellowship with Yourself till my whole being glows with your peace and joy. Reflection Questions: Do I have the kind of peace that can withstand the assaults of slander and hatred? What is most likely to disturb my peace? Why?
