SUMMARY
CHRIST OUR PEACE
“He is our peace.” Ephesians 2:14.
The true minister of Christ is not satisfied to be long away from his main theme. There are many things which it is very proper for him to speak upon in your hearing. We dare not forget the Doctrines of the Word of God, or the precepts, or the experiences of God’s people.
But recognizing the claims of all these, God forbid that we should glorify save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ! It is the preaching of Christ which is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Therefore, wherever we may wander around the circumference, we always feel a drawing in of our soul toward the center, which is “Christ in you, the hope of Glory.”
And if the preacher feels that he cannot go on long in the pulpit without preaching up his Lord and Master, I am quite sure that all the saints of God feel that they cannot be long content without this theme.
They must constantly have Christ. As often as the table is spread in our homes, we need bread. We do not care to have the same meats and drinks in the morning, at mid-day and at the evening meal. We like to have a frequent change of food, but we always want the bread and the table is badly furnished, let it have what it may upon it, if there is not there the bread which is the staff of life!
So the Believer delights in the variety of God’s Word and there is no Truth which is not precious to him. He counts the very shavings of truth to be like the dust of diamonds. Let every particle of it be gathered up and treasured, yes, so treasured that men may be ready to die for the slightest fragment of a Truth of God!
But still, the purest diamond, the Koh-I-Noor of the whole, is the Doctrine of the Savior suffering for our sins and if we do not hear much concerning the Lamb of God, if this is not the big bell that is rung most often, we feel that none of the others can make up for the lack! If this silver trumpet of Jubilee is not blown, the year is dull and dreary, and the service of God’s sanctuary becomes an empty thing. Christ, Christ, Christ! Oh, that we may always make Him the sum and substance of our ministry and that you may always desire Christ as the Water of Life to your souls your All-in-All, without whom you cannot be at rest!
We come then, at this time, to our dear theme, praying God the Holy Spirit to take of the things of Christ and show them to us. It is His office may He tenderly consider us and fulfill that office in our souls here and now! There are only four words in the text and, therefore, four things may suffice us for tonight.
The first great word, or, at any rate, the second greatest, is the word, “peace,” and we shall think for a little while upon that, considering.
