THE IMITATION OF CHRIST

BY

THOMAS KEMPIS

A very powerful spiritual guidance for the soul who seeks to imitate Jesus Christ. 

Learn from me, because I am meek and humble of heart. Mat. 11:29

[DragoonEnNoir]

Something that can be unclear in reading this is... what is meant by ‘peace’?

Is peace something which we achieve through our own effort, hard work and perseverance? Is it something that crosses all religions and binds all religions together? Is the ‘inner’ peace of a Hindu or a Buddhist the same as that which is discussed in this text?

While there is a peace that all men can attain through their own perseverance, the peace of those who follow Christ is not just a peace between a man and his environment or man and himself, but a reconciliation and peace with God.

Let us remember that the peace we rest in is not through our own work, but through the sacrifice of our Savior and most Holy Lord, Jesus Christ.

May we give Him all glory and honor.
