THE HAVEN OF PEACE
TEXT: JOHN 14:25-27
Key Verse: "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" (John 14:27).
The world we are living in is full of problems that take peace away from troubled hearts. The inhabitants of the world desire peace: that state of absence of strife, turmoil, war, or freedom from mental stress and worry. The search is continuous. It was the search for peace that prompted the formation of an organization now called the 'United Nations', by independent nations in 1945, to promote world peace and security. But what measure of peace has the world known?
Peace is not mere absence of war, hostility, disaster, worries and anxiety. It is actually the unimaginable rest of mind, calmness in conduct, and faith in the unfailing love and power of God in times of affliction, disappointment and fear. True peace can only be found in Christ. It is only when you are in Jesus that the peace of God can reign in your heart, no matter what you may be going through. Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, let your peace reign in my heart always.
