PeaceChrist's Gift of Peace
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 offers a peace fundamentally different from the temporary calm the world provides.
Christ's peace isn't the absence of trouble but the presence of assurance amid storms. The world's peace depends on favorable circumstances; Christ's peace transcends circumstances. He gives what the world cannot manufacture—a deep, abiding confidence in God's sovereign care. This peace guards our hearts against fear and anxiety.
For Today
When anxiety threatens today, receive Christ's gift of peace by remembering His promises and His presence with you.
Prayer
Prince of Peace, thank You for leaving us Your peace—not temporary calm but lasting confidence in Your care. Quiet our troubled hearts with Your presence. Amen.
