August 16

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.

John 14:27a

It's always important to keep reading:

I do not give to you as the world gives.

John 14:27continued

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27end

Remember, all of this is in the context of a man who will be murdered in less than twenty-four hours!

Jesus' peace is not the world's peace. If we even knew what that peace looked like...His peace is based on surrender to a loving Father. That is the point of this entire chapter.

The peace of Christ happens at the moment of surrender. Come what may, put your trust in your loving Father. Peace will come. I promise.
