The Peace of Jesus
“These things I have spoken to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33
The peace that Jesus came to bring was not the peace of appeasement, or the peace of compromise and conformity. It was a spiritual peace. The world doesn’t give peace, for it doesn’t have any peace to give. It fights for peace, it negotiates for peace, it maneuvers for peace, but there is no ultimate peace in the world. Jesus, on the other hand, gives peace to those who put their trust in Him. If you have received His peace, then you're in His camp, but if you've rejected it, you're against Him. His peace is available to everyone who will receive it.
