The best of masters



The best of masters

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” 
John 14:27

Suggested Further Reading: 
1 Thessalonians 5:23-28

It is the same with the world at this day.
 Everyone greets us in writing with a “Dear sir,” or a “My dear sir,” and concludes with “Yours very truly,” and “Yours sincerely.” 

We call all “friends,” and if we meet but casually we express the utmost anxiety with regard to one another’s health, and we carefully enquire after each other’s families; when perhaps we shall no sooner have passed by the person than we shall forget his existence, and certainly shall entertain no anxious thoughts with regard to his welfare, nor any loving remembrance of him.

 The world gives very largely when it gives compliments. Oh, what blessings would descend upon all our heads, if the blessings uttered could be blessings bestowed.

 Even when the “Good bye” is given, which translated means, “God be with you”—if that could be but true, and if God could be with us, in answer to that prayer, so little understood, how rich might we be! But alas! the way of the world is, “Be ye warmed and filled;” but it has not that which should warm, nor that which should fill.

 It is a world of words; high-sounding, empty, all-deceiving words. Now this is not so with Christ. If he says “Peace be with you,” 
his benediction is most true and full of sweet sincerity. 

He left his own peace in heaven, that he might give the peace which he enjoyed with his Father, to us in this world of sorrow, for thus he puts it, “My peace I give unto you.”

 Christ, when he blesses, blesses not in word only, but in deed.
 The lips of truth cannot promise more than the hands of love will surely give. 
He gives not in compliment. 
Furthermore, even when the world’s wishes of peace are sincere, what are they but mere wishes?

For meditation:

 Greetings and best wishes from the lips of a Christian should be modelled on Christ, not the world. Do you go in for the “polite lie” or are your concerns for others genuine 
(Philippians 2:20; 3 John 2)?

you can be accepted in to his kingdom.

not in its fashion and manner, 
but in the truth which it contains.”
