Billy Graham on Peace-
When everyone does what is right in his own eyes,
there is no possibility of order and peace.
Peace with God and the peace of God in a man’s heart and the joy
of fellowship with Christ have in themselves a beneficial effect
upon the body and mind and will lead to the development
and preservation of physical and mental power.
The world thinks peace would come if everyone made a lot of money,
but people haven’t found peace in possessions.
They have thought the world would have
peace if all arms were destroyed.
Yet Cain killed Abel without a handgun.
It is man’s heart that is the problem.
Jesus didn’t leave a material inheritance to His disciples.
All He had when He died was a robe. But Jesus willed
His followers something more valuable than gold.
He willed us His peace.
He said: “My peace I give to you; not as the
world gives” [John 14:27 NKJV].
