PEACE TO THIS HOUSE

"Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever" (Isa. 9:6, 7). In words which glow with the beauty and grandeur of spiritual illumination, Isaiah thus prophesied the appearing of the Saviour.

The New Testament records are replete with spiritual fruitage resulting from the Christ-power manifested by Jesus of Nazareth. It is related that Jesus' disciples, previous to their departure on a healing mission, were counseled by their Master as follows (Luke 10: 5, 6): "Into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again."

Upon returning to their Master, the disciples exclaimed in exuberance of joy, "Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name." When the name (nature or character) of the Christ, Truth, is allowed to fill consciousness, the devils or evils of wrong thinking are always cast out, and health and peace are restored as the rightful heritage of man.
