His Peace
Date Posted: April 22, 2022

Peace, I leave with you, My peace I give you, not as the world gives you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid . John 14:27 (NKJV)

Jesus tells His disciples that he leaves them peace, His peace, not like the world offers.

The world’s peace is fleeting. I have described worldly peace as two boys fighting on a school playground. One boy says one thing. A second boy has to say something harsher and louder. That is just the beginning of a fist fight complete with wrestling. No one really wins in a playground fight.

Jesus’s peace is lasting. It is beyond comprehension from a world’s viewpoint. I have stated before that I view the world’s peace is one that lasts until someone throws the next rock. When Jesus returns to earth, we will have lasting peace. We will have no more “cold war”, no more invasions of smaller countries, no more internal issues that divide us.

Jesus tells the disciples and us not to be troubled or afraid. That is not always possible unless you have the Lord Jesus standing with you as you go through the circumstance life has presented you.

We will have peace within our hearts when we walk with Jesus. Peace with Him is best when we concentrate on knowing Him. We learn to know Him when we surrender our hearts and our wills to Him.
