The world today is anything but peaceful but God promises
His children peace. It is not a peace
which is understood by the world. This
peace is a promise which is found in John 14:27. Jesus tells us, “Peace I leave with 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”.
In the first verse of John 14 Jesus tells us to trust in God and also
trust in Him. In verse 9 Jesus tells His
disciples, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father……I am in the Father and
the Father is in me……It is the Father who is living in Me who is doing the
work.” God became flesh so that man would
learn of His character, His love, and of how He would want us to live. The world in Jesus’ time was no more peaceful
than our days now. It is only in
believing in, and trusting God that we find the peace which Jesus describes in
John 14. In Him we are not to be
afraid. He replaces our fears with His gift
of faith. As a believer I have the
promise of God’s protection in my daily walk and the hope of eternity at the
end of my physical life. It is in these
promises that I have internal peace and joy.
This promised peace and joy in the Lord is available to all. He has promised that if we seek we will find. He so loved us that He gave His only begotten
Son to the world. This peace is given to
whosoever believes.
