Acts 14:19-28; Psalm 145; John 14:27-31

Peace I give you

What is this ‘peace’ that Jesus gives us? Certainly not freedom from trials and tribulations in the world. We hear today of Paul being stoned and left for dead and the disciples are warned of what was about to happen to Jesus. Our trials may be different from these, but the ‘peace’ we can know is that God knows what is happening, he is with us going through it and his will triumphs in the end. We can feel the peace of God in our heart just by submitting our life to him and asking for his peace.
