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.
Jesus is talking to the disciples. They won't be together much longer. He knows what will be happening, but they don't get it.
It must have been so hard to spend those last minutes with the men he loved. Jesus knew that they were weak, that they would suffer, and that he left so much behind. He was obedient to God's will, unlike the rest of this world, and he did what he was destined to do. If only we could accept his words at face value, we would be transformed too.
Prayer: I am bogged down in this world, but I am trying to see things Your way. I will pray for the enlightenment that increased faith can bring me. I will struggle to find You in every part of every day I spend on Earth. Guide my spiritual journey.
Amen
