Yet Jesus says to his followers: "My peace give I unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you." It is our privilege to realize the preciousness of the Saviour as never before. Our Redeemer is a "Tried Stone." The experiment has been made, the great test has been applied, and with perfect success. In him is fulfilled all the purpose of God for the saving of a lost world. Never was a foundation subject to so severe a trial and test as this "Tried Stone." The Lord Jehovah knew what this foundation stone could sustain. The sins of the whole world could be piled upon it. The Lord's chosen were to be revealed, heaven's gates to be thrown open to all who would believe; its untold glories were to be given to the overcomers.

Alligevel siger Jesus til sine efterfølgere: "Min fred giver jeg jer; ikke som verden giver, giver jeg den til jer.” Det er vort privilegium at erkende frelserens kostbarheder som aldrig før. Vor Forløser er en ”Prøvet sten.” Erfaringen er gjort, den store test er blevet anvendt, og med fuldkommen succes. I ham er opfyldelsen af Guds hensigt for at frelse en tabt verden. Aldrig har et fundament været underkastet så strenge trængsler og prøvelser som denne ”Prøvede Sten.” Herren Jehova vidste hvad denne grundpille-sten kunne klare. Hele verdens synder kunne lægges på den. Herrens udvalgte skulle åbenbares, himlens porte rives op for alle som vil tro; dens usigelige herligheder skulle gives til sejrherrerne.
