He goeth before you into Galilee. \u2014 Mark 16:7.
\n I will go before you into Galilee. \u2014 Matthew 26:32.
\n Tell my brethren that they go into Galilee. \u2014 Matt. 28:10.<\/p>\n
The very word Galilee is suggestive of peace \u2014 as H. V. Morton has written, \u201cEven were it possible to dissociate it with the ministry of Jesus, it would still_ be a lovely word whose three syllables suggest the sound of water lapping a shore.\u201d It would take the disciples several days to travel, but those days would give time for peace to .settle over their minds, and by the lakeside, Jerusalem and its distractions, would seem to be far away. The quiet hour around the Lord\u2019s table is your Galilee and mine. We come from the disquieting turmoil of our daily life, its harrowing toil and unfriendly folk, and well it is for us if the Lord\u2019s day seems as far removed from the days of the week as Galilee from Jerusalem. We come because He has bid us come and has promised that we shall see Him.<\/p>\n
Here, 0 my Lord, I see Thee face to face;
\n Here faith can touch and handle things unseen;
\n Here would I grasp with firmer hand Thy grace,
\n And all my weariness upon Thee lean. \u2014 H. Bonar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
