Episode 277: Peace

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" In today's reading we see Jesus offering His disciples, and to us, a gift like no other. The gift of eternal peace. He tells us that this gift He offers, we cannot get from anywhere else. It cannot be found in this world. Rather true peace is found only in Him and His promise of eternal life. It is in this promise that we are not troubled or afraid. There is nothing on this earth, no hurt, no loss, no hardship, that can separate us from the love of Our Heavenly Father and the everlasting peace that has been given to us by Jesus.
