Peace Day 39
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.
John
14:27
Before making large purchases like houses, vehicles, or even
furniture, many people acquire loans that must eventually be repaid. Likewise,
when we want temporary access to items, but do not wish to fully purchase them,
we may have to rent them. It is typically only on special occasions like
birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas, that we receive free gifts without
payment. How great to know that these are not the circumstances in which we access
peace, which Christ freely left for us. Peace is always available to us.
In John 14:27, on the night of His anticipated betrayal,
Christ prepared His disciples for the challenges to come. He expressed to them
in that while He would not always physically be with them, His peace would
remain with them. Thus, in the years ahead, through the disciples’ challenges
and difficult circumstances, the peace of Christ was available to them. All
they had to do was receive it.
Let us learn that even before chaos and disappointment enter
our lives, we already have access to peace. The world adds conditions when
giving anything away, but Christ left us with an unconditional and eternal
peace. The only condition we have is to allow Him into our hearts. Let us learn
that a piece of Christ is the key to our peace.
