A.W. Tozer emphasizes the futility of man's promises for peace and progress, highlighting that while humanity often fails to deliver on these promises, they are quick to fulfill their threats. True peace, he asserts, is a divine gift found in the hearts of trusting believers and innocent children, with Jesus as the ultimate source of this peace. Tozer warns that the 'great' of this world underestimate the wisdom of the Christian, who, in the face of impending judgment, can find solace in the sacrifice of Calvary, knowing that true judgment has already been borne.

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the profound truth that when a person's ways align with God's will, even their enemies can be made to live in peace with them. He acknowledges that striving to please the Lord may invite opposition, yet reassures that God can turn the hearts of adversaries, as seen in the stories of Laban and Esau. Spurgeon highlights the transformative power of God, who can convert enemies into allies, exemplified by Saul of Tarsus. He encourages believers to focus on pleasing God, trusting that He will manage their conflicts and adversities. Ultimately, Spurgeon calls for faith and holiness, which delight the Lord and bring peace even in the face of death.

Watchman Nee emphasizes that 'the peace of God' is not merely a gift but the very essence of God's nature, a peace that remains unshaken even amidst chaos and rebellion. He illustrates how God's peace was undisturbed during the fall of angels and humanity, demonstrating His ability to wait patiently for the right time to restore creation through His Son. This divine peace is promised to guard the hearts and minds of those who commit their concerns to God in prayer, highlighting the importance of trust and surrender in our relationship with Him.

A.B. Simpson emphasizes that it is not merely peace with God that sustains us, but the peace of God that transcends all understanding, acting as the breath of God within our souls. He explains that true rest and peace come only when we cease our own efforts and allow God to work in us, highlighting that God's rest follows the completion of His work. Simpson encourages believers to recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, who brings hope and prepares us for Christ's return. This divine peace enables us to remain unoffended and steadfast in our faith. The sermon calls for a deeper reliance on God's grace to experience His peace fully.

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the transformative power of God's peace in the process of sanctification, illustrating how divine intervention can lift burdens and bring about spiritual renewal effortlessly, much like the sun melting an iceberg. He encourages believers to embrace the divine life of holiness and expresses the importance of longing for this sanctification, inviting all to pray for the God of peace to sanctify them wholly. The imagery of a stranded ship being lifted and an iceberg melting serves to highlight the ease and might of God's work in our lives.
