Opening Scripture:
John 14:27 – “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 – “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.”
Study:
Christ’s peace is a direct result of His presence in our lives. Unlike the fleeting peace of the world, the peace of Christ is enduring, secure, and rooted in His perfect love. As we anticipate Christ’s birth this Advent season, we are reminded that He came to bring peace—not just peace in our circumstances, but peace in our hearts.
When we experience the peace of Christ, we find rest from worry and fear. This peace is a great source of joy because it allows us to trust God with every part of our lives. As we reflect on this verse, we are called to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts and to share that peace with others.
Reflection Questions:
- What areas of your life need the peace of Christ today?
- How can you cultivate the peace of Christ in your heart this Advent season?
- How can you be an instrument of peace to others around you?
Pray for the peace of Christ to rule in your heart and to extend to others, especially as you prepare for Christmas.
Share Your Thoughts:
How has the peace of Christ helped you in times of trouble? How can you share that peace with someone today?
