That a peaceful place this is, and how we would enjoy sitting there quietly to watch the calm water and the boat gliding along.
Some of us have watched the ocean and looked at the restless waves as they splashed high on the rocks. We may have enjoyed it for a time, but very soon, we have wished the rough waves would become calm.
This poor world, with its dreadful confusion, does not know how to make peace, and it will not know peace till the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, comes to reign for one thousand years in peace and righteousness. Then the world will have peace; but He will first destroy all His enemies, all who refuse to accept Him as the One who died for them on Calvary’s cross, and has washed their sins away in His precious blood, have peace in their hearts, even in the midst of the present awful condition all over the world.
We plead with all those who have not put their trust in Him as their Saviour, to come to Him at once, as we do not know how soon He will bring judgment upon this poor Christ rejecting world.
