3. The mountains shall bring peace to the people. Thence rushed the robber bands which infested the country; but now the
forts there are the guardians of the land, and the watchmen publish the tidings
that no foe is to be seen. Where Jesus is there is peace. Even those things
which were once our dread lose all terror when Jesus is owned as monarch of the
heart: death itself, that dark mountain, loses all its gloom. Trials and
afflictions, when the Lord is with us, bring us an increase rather than a
diminution of peace. And the little hills, by righteousness. Seeing that
the rule of the monarch was just, every little hill seemed clothed with peace.
Peace is given to the heart by the righteousness of Christ; and all the powers
and passions of the soul are filled with a holy calm, when the way of salvation
is revealed. Then we go forth with joy, and are led with peace; the mountains
and the hills break forth before us into singing.
