John 14:27-7 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus declares in this text that "His peace He has given unto us."

The peace of God given unto us is an inheritance from God to the people of God. Yes, Jesus has left us here on earth with a GREAT inheritance called "PEACE".

The "PEACE" that Jesus gives transcends all understanding. It gives us peace in the midst of trouble, chaos, adversity, distress, worry, fear, etc.

God's peace, not the world peace which is temporary. God's peace is continually working in our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

What Jesus is saying to us is that there is no need to sit up day and night worrying, stressing and being anxious or weary about the cares of this world for He has already overcome the world for us.

The world in which we live in will continue to have unrest and not peace, but as people of God, we can find "peace" through Christ in the midst of it all because His peace rules and reigns in the hearts and minds of His people.

Jesus is the One who gives peace. Jesus said, "My peace I give to you." Notice He says "My peace." These words spoken by Jesus to us is personal.

Lord, I thank you for peace in a world that is full of chaos and unrest. My peace I find in you and I thank you Lord.
