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.
Jesus reminds His disciples that He is still the Prince of Peace and just because He’s leaving, He won’t remove His peace.
Believers have the same assurance today.
If not for the peace of God, I would never make it through the valleys of ill health in my family.
If not for the peace of God, the gunk and rubbish of life would overtake me.
According to the Prince of Peace, this peace is Heavenly in origin, so it can’t be affected by the events of earth.
I’m glad we can lean on the peace of Jesus and trust Him to take care of us in troubled times - Phil. 4:6-7; Isa. 26:3.
