PEACE BE WITH YOU

Date: Wednesday, August 17, 2022

Bible Text: John 20:19-22

Memory Verse: “On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leader, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!’” John 20:19, NIV

Peace is the absence of chaos and panicking and a state of mental calm and serenity. The world today is experiencing terrorism and insecurity. People daily sleep and wake-up with one eye open and restless due to lack of peace and restiveness. Everyone seeks for peaceful coexistence.

Jesus is the giver of peace and rest of mind. When He was about to depart this world, back to Heaven, He assured His disciples of peace here and hereafter (John 14:1-2). This peace is meant for those who are saved by Him. This is because only those who are free from the grip of sin anchor by the devil can have peace. He spoke peace to the disciples when they were enrapt with fear of harm from the Jews who crucified Jesus. Gloriously, Jesus appeared to them and gave them peace which is from God (vs. 20).

Beloved! Are you troubled and worried about the trials and challenges of life? What is the problem that has held you on in the web of fear and restlessness? They are not beyond Jesus, for He is the One who is able to calm all storms of life. Come to Him today and He will give you peace.

Insight: Jesus alone gives eternal peace.

Prayer: LORD! Give me victory and peace.
