The One Source of Abiding Peace—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.—The Ministry of Healing, 247 (1905). {2MCP 762.1} His Experience to Be Ours—In Christ the cry of humanity reached the Father of infinite pity. As a man He supplicated the throne of God till His humanity was charged with a heavenly current that should connect humanity with divinity. Through continual communion He received life from God that He might impart life to the world. His experience is to be ours.—The Desire of Ages, 363 (1898). {2MCP 762.2}

(762) Den eneste kilde med varig fred — Varig fred, sand åndelig hvile, har kun én kilde, og det var om den, Kristus talte om, da han sagde: "Kom hid til mig, alle, som trætte og tyngede af byrder, og jeg vil give jer hvile." (Matt 11,28) "Fred lader jeg jer, min fred giver jeg jer; jeg giver jer ikke som verden giver." (Joh 14,27) Denne fred er ikke noget, han skænker uafhængigt af sig selv; den er i Kristus, og vi får den kun ved at tage i mod ham. — I den store Læges fodspor, 247 (1905).
