The Resurrection Difference: #3 – We Find Peace!
By Steve Anderson.
Peace is a puzzle that only the risen Christ can help us solve.
Fear chases away peace. (John 20:19a)
Jesus brings peace. (John 20:19b)
Peace is not the absence of suffering. Peace is confidence God will bring you through. (John 20:20)
Jesus’ peace comes from our being sent. (John 20:21)
The Holy Spirit is the peace of Jesus. (John 20:21-22)
A prayer to receive peace from the risen Christ:
Jesus, I cannot put the puzzle of my life together without you. I bring to you my fears. Meet me and speak your peace into my life. Give me confidence that you will bring me through. I accept your call to serve you with my life. Amen.
