John 14:27
In the Gospel of John, chapter 14 is a heartfelt part of Jesus’ farewell address to His disciples. He’s preparing them for His imminent departure, and among His comforting words, He promises something profound: peace. Imagine the situation—His close friends are anxious, struggling with uncertainty about the future, much like we sometimes do in our own lives. What a soothing comfort would have it been for them to hear that the gift He leaves behind is peace!
But, His version of peace isn’t just a lack of conflict; it’s a deep-seated sense of well-being and security, transcending the usual turmoil of life. There’s an echo of this same sentiment in several places throughout scripture. For instance, in Isaiah 26:3, we read that God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him. Such continuity shows how integral peace was and still is within the faith journey—an inner tranquility that can endure storms.
Interestingly, the Hebrew word for peace, “shalom,” encapsulates wholeness, harmony, and prosperity. So, when Jesus speaks of peace, it isn't simply a benign farewell but a blessing—an invitation to holistic wellness.
Additionally, this John passage gives insight into the divine nature of peace: it is not derived from worldly notions of tranquility, but rather from a profound relationship with the divine. This means the peace He offers is more durable than any security we could achieve on our own—a true treasure indeed!
