The Prince of Peace

“I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit—the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.

“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful. You have heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens so that when it does happen you may believe. I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world is coming. He has no power over Me. On the contrary, I am going away so that the world may know that I love the Father. Just as the Father commanded Me, so I do.

“Get up; let’s leave this place.” 
(John 14:25-31 Holman Christian Standard Bible ®©)

Jesus was stepping into the most hideous entrapment yet created by humanity when He spoke what John recorded above. In that position, He intended to share with His followers the peace that was giving Him the strength to stand, so that when they saw it happen, they, too, would have the strength to stand.

He is happy to offer it to you, today.
