John 14:27; Isaiah 9:6

Scripture Reading: Psalm 4:8; 29:11; 85:7-8; 119:165; “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.” “The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.” “Show us your unfailing love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation. I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people.” “Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble.”

John 14:27—

Troubled— confused; disturbed; startled; or terrified.

Heart—our inner being. Our thoughts, our emotions, our will, our intellect.

Isaiah 9:6—Government upon His shoulders—

Isaiah 40:4—Wonderful Counselor—eliminates obstacles to peace.

Prince of Peace—Jesus speaks as the “Prince of Peace” in John 14:27

John 14:16-18—Another Helper

We will not be left as orphans (fatherless)

Peace—Completeness; Wellbeing; Restoration.

Joel 2:25; John 10:10; 1 John 3:8b

Inner Peace, not just an outward manifestation

Galatians 3:26-29—Peace enables us to work together.

          Heirs to the promise of Abraham—

1 Peter 3:15–….” you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. ¹⁶ But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.” (NLT)
