I wonder if you’ve ever had a busy season or a busy day and you said something like: ”All I need is a moment of peace!” I remember a funeral for a young man that I was doing many years ago. Unfortunately, this young man had taken his own life. One of his friends just kept looking into the casket and saying, “All he wanted was a little peace.” He said it over and over again. Don’t we all? This brings us to one of the most incredible promises that Jesus has made to us, and the five words that can change your life. “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, NIV84) Notice that Jesus isn’t just giving you a peace. He is giving you HIS peace. Notice what else he says: “I do not give as the world gives.” In other words, the world can’t give you this peace and the world can’t take it away. It is not dependent on world events or what happens in the world. This makes the peace that Jesus gives different than the peace the world sometimes offers. It’s not dependent on a vacation, a chair on a beach, a drink in your hand, or drugs in your system. This peace is a gift that comes only from Jesus. What are the five words, you ask? I’ll give you a hint. They are contained in that promise. But if you want to know specifically what they are, you’ll need to be at worship this weekend or join us online.
