My Peace, I give to you!
Jesus said, “MY PEACE, I give unto you!” John 14v27. One of the greatest things lost in the garden of Eden so long ago was PEACE. The entrance of sin and rebellion into the heart of man meant that the wonderful, sublime, indescribable PEACE that pervaded that beautiful garden was lost. The one responsible - the Prince of darkness, the destroyer of harmony, the greatest thief of all time had done his worst. Jesus said “The thief comes to rob and destroy”, Satan had robbed mankind of that beautiful jewel - PEACE!
Jesus is called the Prince of PEACE. Even on the night before his death, surrounded by betrayal from a friend, Jewish hatred, and the suffering of a barbarous Roman execution, Jesus never let anything disturb ‘HIS PEACE’. It is a mighty supernatural PEACE “not from this world”!
There was a painting competition with many entries. The winner was a painting of a robin at the furthermost tip of a branch over a waterfall. The robin was singing a song against a sombre sky, lashing rain, and the roar of the waterfall. The title of the winning painting was “PEACE”. Despite all the dark surroundings, Peace revealed itself. God’s Peace still does. Jesus the Prince of PEACE wants to fill your heart and mind with ‘HIS PEACE’ — THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING! The ‘Peace’ Jesus gives when He enters your life, will triumph over all situations!
