AUTHENTIC PEACE!
John 14:25 – Devotional
John 14:25
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you; I do not give as the world gives to you. Do not be troubled in heart, nor be afraid.”
There is a peace that is anything but peaceful. I am told that in the midst of some major battles a cease fire may be ordered in which both sides stop hostilities for a certain period of time. It may be temporarily quiet, but it is not TRUE PEACE.
Prior to the outbreak of WWII in 1938, Sir Neville Chamberlain returned from Germany with a peace compact that was signed by Adolph Hitler. He waved the document and proclaimed, “Peace in our time!” We now know how false that peace really was.
Jesus promises His followers peace that is far different from anything the world can offer. It is peace in the midst of the storms of life. It is the peace that God gave to Stephen when he was being stoned to death (Acts 7:54-60). Other martyrs died with that same peace that can only be described as AUTHENTIC PEACE.
Perhaps you feel like you are being tossed to and fro in the storms of life. It is time to anchor your life to the rock of our salvation and allow the Lord to give you His TRUE PEACE – AUTHENTIC PEACE, that will satisfy your soul.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
