Jeremiah Burroughs

Uncle Donnie picked up this one entitled Gospel Reconciliation by Jeremiah Burroughs.
Here's a little taste:
"Oh the blessed state of a believer, of one who has embraced the gospel: he is
reconciled to God; he is at peace with God, and that has a great deal in it as you
have heard. The Jews were wont to express all kind of prosperity and happiness by
this word 'peace':'Peace be to you'; and in saying so, they included all manner of
good. For indeed the word is a comprehensive word; and therefore God accounts it His
glory to be called the God of peace. It is the glory of the Son of God to be called
the Prince of Peace. It is the glory of the Spirit to have the fruits of the Spirit
to be joy and peace. It is the honor of the gospel to be the gospel of peace. It is
the glory of the kingdom of God to consist in righteousness and peace. It is the
evangelical benediction: grace and peace. It is the glory of the covenant of life
to be a covenant of peace.
Peace is a most amiable thing, but how lovely, amiable, and glorious is peace
with God!"
I think Jesus wants us to read this kind of stuff, so go and read some of it.
