John 14:27-28 “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. You heard me say,
‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be
glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.”
Just
prior to the Lord Jesus Christ telling us of the Peace of Christ, from the
Prince of Peace, He speaks to us all of how He was going to the kingdom of
Heaven to prepare a place for the Believer, His Followers, the redeemed children
of God.
John
14:1-4 “Do not let your
hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My
Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that
I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also
may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Then
tells us of the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide our steps on the
road to eternity in Heaven with Him and our Heavenly Father forever.
John 14:15-18 “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask
the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with
you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because
it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and
will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to
you.
Christ’s
peace only comes from Christ. That by knowing who you are as a “saved’ sinner by
the grace of God, Redeemed and justified by the atoning blood of Jesus and
forgiven to a regenerated heart and spirit; a child of God, destined (not for eternal
punishment in Hell, but) for eternal life in Heaven, this peace can only come
from Christ through the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of
the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control. Against such things there is no law.”
No
worries and no fear because you have a blessed future beyond this journey here
and now. Know Jesus know peace. No Jesus, no peace.
1
Thessalonians 5:23 “May God himself,
the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit,
soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ.”
In
Christ, Brian
