Reflection on John 14
Jesus shows us a BETTER Peace.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
(John 14:27)
We strive for worldly peace that most times seeks our own comfort especially at the cost of other people's pain and suffering.
We want peace and comfort that satisfies our "selves" even at the expense of the needs and survival of other "selves" especially the poor and the ones who we can easily oppress.
May we seek to rest in the PEACE Jesus gives.
May we see that the PEACE of Jesus is over and above worldly peace and comfort.
May Jesus' peace conquer the fear and anxiety that the world strives to plant in our hearts and minds.
May we be satisfied with the PEACE that Jesus plants in our hearts and minds to guard us against seeking greed, violence and oppression- " peace as the world gives."
Where is your hope? Learning to love and be faithful through focusing on eternal hope that shines through the bleakest seasons of life.
