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, 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 says, “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 by the atoning blood of Jesus understand by
experience and know the peace that the world cannot give; only from Jesus. Know Jesus; know peace.
In Christ, Brian
