Who uses but Christ's vision finds a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless, that the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this peace. And all the world departs in silence, as this peace envelops it, and gently carries it to truth, no more to be the home of fear. For Love has come, and healed the world by giving it Christ's peace.
Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift, and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgement on ourselves.
✨ Summary & practice
There is a peace that Christ gives you, sink into it.
There is a peace so deep, so still, so undisturbed and utterly unchanging that nothing in this world can compare. This peace is Christ’s gift. Before it, all comparisons fall silent. The whole world fades into quietness as this peace enfolds it and gently carries it toward truth. After touching this peace, the world is never quite the same again; it ceases to be the dwelling place of fear.
The essential truth to understand is that this peace is already given to you. It is not a reward for good behavior or the result of spiritual effort. It is a gift, pure and simple, that comes from God’s Love. You need do nothing to earn it; you only need to accept it without judgment. For it is your judgment of yourself that deprives you of this peace. By ceasing to judge yourself, you cease condemning yourself to live without it. Christ’s peace is your true nature.
This lesson is deeply connected to all the teachings on judgment and forgiveness. Judgment creates inner turmoil, a constant conflict between what you are and what you think you should be. Forgiveness dissolves this conflict and makes room for peace. Previous lessons have shown you the way; this one shows you the goal. Christ’s peace is not the absence of outer conflict, but the presence of an inner harmony that nothing can disturb. It is the end of every search, the answer to every question.
To experience this peace today, take several moments of silence. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. With each exhalation, tell yourself: 'Christ’s peace is given to me.' Do not try to create it; simply let it rise from the depths of your being. It is there, beneath the surface agitation. When you feel peace rising, do not hold it with thought. Let it wrap around you like a soft blanket. Throughout the day, return to the feeling of this peace, even in the midst of activity.
You, Christ’s peace awaits you. Accept this gift today, and let it transform everything you touch.
