John 14:27-31
Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled: nor let it be afraid. You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe. I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world: cometh: and in me he hath not any thing. But that the world may know that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandments, so do I. Arise, let us go hence.
Jesus offers a peace that the world cannot give. Human peace often depends on favorable circumstances, but Christ’s peace flows from trust in God’s presence. Even amid difficulties, believers can remain confident because the risen Lord is with them. This Gospel encourages us to surrender our anxieties and place our concerns before God. His peace does not remove every challenge, but it gives us the strength to face them with faith. By remaining close to Christ, we discover lasting calm and hope.
