No Reason To Fear

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

The Bible teaches that there is only one true form of peace – the perfect absence of fear and death. Before Jesus gave Himself up to the cross, He taught that the peace He offered from His impeccable sacrifice, would produce a unique brand of peace. This is why Jesus told the disciples to keep from fear. Jesus was going to judge sin through His atoning sacrifice, bridging the gap between humanity and the Father. By extension, we’re able to escape hellfire, and have access into the glorious promises and blessings of God! Can the world offer this gift? Can the world provide such favor? Does the world’s peace measure up to Jesus’ as the Prince of Peace?
