Bible Verse
John 14:27 (NIV): “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.”
Meaning
In this profound verse, Jesus promises us a special kind of peace—His peace. It’s not the fleeting peace that the world offers, based on temporary circumstances and material gains. Instead, His peace is deep, abiding, and unshakeable, rooted in the divine.
Jesus knew that His disciples, like us today, would face challenges and fears. He reassures us that He has given us His peace, a peace that transcends all understanding. It is through faith in Him that we can overcome anxiety and fear, trusting that He is in control.
This divine peace is closely linked with faith. When we have faith in Jesus, we trust in His promises, and our hearts are calmed. We begin to see beyond our current struggles, recognizing that He is with us, guiding and protecting us every step of the way.
