John 14:27 ” Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you.”

Jesus gave the common Hebrew word peace a new & deeper meaning when He spoke this to His disciples. When He told them He was giving them “His peace” it meant a true reconciliation with God, purchased by His death on the Cross. But many times as we’re caring for a loved one at home this peace is replaced by worry. It’s as if worry is a intrusive houseguest that refuses to leave…reminding us in detail of every problem, every health concern, and everything we have no control over. But we need to then remember that when our Lord speaks peace, He creates peace…because, “The Words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life.” (John 6:63) And so with this new found peace, we can push worry out the door, look fully into our Lord’s face, and receive His quiet contentment for another day.
