"Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
"Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
Jesus gives us a different kind of peace. He tells us in this verse that the peace He gives us is not like the world's peace. The kind of peace the world offers comes and goes. That kind of peace or assurance is temporary, often tethered loosely to things like money, status, relationships, or health. The peace Jesus gives us is peace with God. It's a deep and abiding sense that everything is okay, and is going to be okay, because of who we belong to. Jesus offers us a different kind of peace- a peace that goes beyond our understanding. A peace that guards our hearts and minds from fear or worry. A peace He gives when we ask for it. Will you rest in peace that Jesus gives today?
