To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'' The life of Jesus was meek and peaceful. He '^ came and preach- ed peace. '' With admirable propriety and strength of expression, therefore, the apostle says, " He is our peace. " Besides the many direct exhortations which he gave to a quiet and peaceful temper and life, he con- stantly inculcated and enjoined the cultivation and ex- ercise of all those dispositions, affections, and senti- ments, which naturally tend to produce peace ; whilst he no less constantly prohibited those of the opp...osite tendency and character* He pronounced blessings on the peace-makers, as entitled to the special favour of God. " Blessed are the peace-makers ; for they shall be called the children of God. " And at last, when he was about to " leave the world, and go to the Father, " his parting benediction to his disciples was, ^^ Peace I leave with you, my peace 1 give unto you. " The general inference to be drawn from these obser- vations is — that wherever we behold the spirit of peace eminently exhibited — I mean, that genuine peace, which springs from mutual love and good will, there also we may be certain is much of the spirit of Christ 5 because 8 a peaceful temper and disposition is so eminent a trait in ttie Christian character.
