EGW, Acts and Apostle, p 84

This peace is not the peace that

comes through conformity to the
world. Christ never purchased
peace by compromise with evil.
The peace that Christ left His
disciples is internal rather than
external and was ever to remain
with His witnesses through strife
and contention.
 EGW, Minitry of Healing, p 247
Abiding peace, true rest of spirit, has but
one source. It was of this that Christ
spoke when He said, “Come unto Me, all
ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give
unto you: not as the world giveth, give I
unto you” (John 14:27). This peace is not
something that He gives apart from
Himself. It is in Christ, and we can
receive it only by receiving Him.
 EGW, Christ Triumphant p 260

Christ brought that peace with Him to the

world. He came to impart that peace, that all
who will believe on Him might have a peace
that passeth understanding. He, the world’s
Redeemer, had carried that peace with Him
throughout His earthly life, and now He had
come to the time when He must give His life
so that the treasure of peace might ever
abide in the heart by faith. He left that peace
with His disciples, and He is implanting and
maintaining it in the hearts of all who will
welcome its presence.... CTr 260.3
Mark 4:37-38
And when they had sent away the multitude,
they took him even as he was in the ship. And
there were also with him other little ships.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and
the waves beat into the ship, so that it was
now full. And he was in the hinder part of the
ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him,
and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that
we perish?

Mark 4:39-41

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said

unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind
ceased, and there was a great calm. And he
said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is
it that ye have no faith?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to
another, What manner of man is this, that
even the wind and the sea obey him?

Personality part 1 , p 145
But our Lord does not deceive us. He does
not say to us, “Do not fear; there are no
dangers in your path.” He knows there are
trials and dangers, and He deals with us
plainly. He does not propose to take His
people out of a world of sin and evil, but He
points them to a never-failing refuge. His
prayer for His disciples was, “I pray not that
Thou shouldest take them out of the world,
but that Thou shouldest keep them from the
evil.” “In the world,” He says, “ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have
overcome the world” (John 17:15; 16:33)
