The Peace Jesus Offers
Text: John 14: 27
THE PEACE JESUS OFFERS
Jesus knew that His disciples were unsettled and troubled in their hearts as He spoke to them of His suffering and death. He wanted to assure their hearts by giving them His peace.
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27
1. “My peace”
There were two ways in which Jesus described His peace.
a. “Peace I leave with you”
i. Jesus would leave them shortly.
ii. But His peace is left with the Disciples!
b. “My peace I give to you”
i. Just in case the disciples did not fully understand what He meant by “leaving His peace”.
ii. He spoke of “giving” His peace to the Disciples.
c. The subtleties may not be fully comprehended.
i. But the blessing of peace may be fully comprehended.
ii. Peace of heart and mind were what the Disciples sorely needed.
2. “Not as the world gives do I give to you”
a. The world also offers to give peace.
b. Some features of the world’s kind of peace.
i. Temporary
ii. Mere feelings
iii. The source is from the world
c. “Do I give to you”
i. Jesus is the Source.
ii. His source is to be traced to God the Father.
3. “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”
a. The human heart is easily troubled.
b. It is very prone to being afraid.
c. The peace that Jesus offers will cause the heart not to be troubled or afraid.
This peace that Jesus offers comes from a truly Heavenly source!

耶稣给予的平安
当耶稣对门徒们说了自己将要受苦和死，祂知道门徒们必会而感到不安和忧愁。因此，祂将自己的平安赐给他们，好安抚他们的心。
“我留下平安给你们，我将我的平安赐给你们。我所赐的不像世人所赐的，你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯。”
《约翰福音 14：27》
