Joh 14:27 | MHM | STEP | v. 27 : Jesus leaves his followers a precious gift: 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 ). As he prepares to leave, Jesus gives the disciples something better than money or possessions—he gives them his peace. This peace means reconciliation with God, peace with one another, and calmness inside ourselves. It is a deep peace, purchased and preached by Jesus, and celebrated by the angels at his birth (Ephesians 2:14; Luke 2:14 ). Jesus’ peace is not like the world’s peace, which depends on circumstances and can be taken away. His peace is real, lasting, and cannot be destroyed. Even when facing trouble or fear, those who trust in Jesus should not let their hearts be troubled or afraid. This is the true comfort that Jesus gives to all his followers, now and forever. Jesus says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” Jesus gives His followers a special peace that is better than anything the world offers. He encourages them not to be troubled or afraid (John 14:27 ).
