Loving God, Loving Others, Making Disciples

Peace

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. John 14:27

We think of peace as being a time where there is no fighting and everyone’s happy. But we know that doesn’t happen very often. We learn in history class about all kinds of wars. We hear about all sorts of bad things on the news. So, how can Jesus be the “Prince of Peace”? What does the, “peace that passes understanding” look like? How is His peace different from the world’s idea of peace?
