MIRACLES IN 2025
God’s Peace
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Peace is a theme in the Bible which is seen from the first book to the last. The word “peace” is found 429 times in the Word of God in 400 verses. Since this is such an important theme in the Scriptures, it is for us also, for we have so much to learn from it.
Jesus was about to leave the disciples and return to the Father in heaven. Before He left, He wanted to give them words of encouragement, so He told them that He was leaving them His peace. He had begun telling them in verse one to not let their hearts be troubled when He said, Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. He gave them Himself as God in the flesh to comfort them. Then He told them of the place where He was going. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. He was going back to heaven, and while there, He would be preparing a home for them. What a comfort! Then to add to that, He told them, And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. What greater comfort could there possible be than to know that He was coming again to take them home to be with Him!
But to conclude His message of hope, He told them He was leaving them one more thing. That was His peace. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
He gives us His peace also. Because of that, we can have tranquil hearts and not live in fear since we have His peace. Praise the Lord!
