John 14:27–31
Jesus said to his disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, I am going away, and I am coming to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me; but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.”
Reflection
• Can I feel the peace of our Risen Lord? What troubles me that I can’t enjoy the peace of God?
• What kind of peace Jesus offers to me? Is it more about the courage to face trouble calmly instead of an escape from it?
