Isaiah 26:3
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; as my parting gift. The allusion is to the Hebrew form of benediction, which is, "Peace be with you."My peace; that which resembles his own, and which he alone can give: "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding." Php 4:7.Not as the world giveth; their benedictions are empty and inefficacious; but mine are sincere and powerful. The consequences of thus dwelling and communing with the Father and the Son, are peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Ghost, and good hope, through grace, that when absent from the body, they shall be present with the Lord, beholding his glory and rejoicing in his love. Such a one, therefore, need not fear, though the earth be removed, and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though the waters roar and are troubled, and the mountains shake with the swelling thereof; for he will be kept in perfect peace, his mind being stayed on God.
