John 14:27
Sermon: 2491 His Name Is Wonderful
Pray Over This
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27
Ponder This
Have you ever received anything in a will? Through Jesus, you did. On the cross He said, “My peace I give to you.” Jesus was going back to Heaven, and this is the legacy He left for you. Jesus gave you His peace, and no lawyer on Earth can nullify that will—it is yours.
If you don’t have peace, it may be that you don’t understand what you have in the name of Jesus. There’s welfare in that name. I was trying to witness to a man. We had a friendly conversation, but I approached the subject of Jesus, and he told me how he was fine without God.
He said, “You see that house? It’s paid for. I am happily married, and I have a retirement income set. I’m doing quite well, thank you.” I asked, “Do you have peace in your heart?” He said, “I told you, I’m good.” I said, “That doesn’t change my question, ‘Do you have peace in your heart?’” His chin began to quiver, and his eyes brimmed with tears, and he said, “No! I don’t have peace. How did you know?” I said, “Because the Bible says, ‘There is no peace,’ says the LORD, ‘for the wicked’” (Isaiah 48:22). Jesus is the only peace we will ever know. He is the peace that passes understanding.
- Would you say you live with peace in your soul? Why or why not?
- When have you had a hard time remembering your access to God’s peace?
Practice This
Think about a current area of anxiety. Ask God that His peace would consume that concern.
