Text:
John 16:33 (NKJV)
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Observation:
My friends, the answer to the question in the title is found in the Bible in John 16:33. Read the text listed above for your convenience. Did you see it?
The answer is Jesus. He said, “In Me, you may have peace.” Do you have Jesus alive in your heart?
John 1:12 (NKJV)
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
Are you a child of God? If you are, you have the peace of God within you. Notice what the Bible says about the peace of God.
John 14:1 (NKJV)
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
John 14:27 (NKJV)
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Application:
Make two columns. One the World, and the other Jesus on a sheet of paper.
The World Jesus
Sickness Jesus
Sorrow Jesus
Sin Jesus
Temptation Jesus
Testing Jesus
Trial Jesus
Isolation Jesus
Your problem Jesus
The world gives us troubles, but God gives His children peace, and the world cannot take it away. The peace that God gives you will stay with you. Your responsibility is to live in the presence of God who gave you the gift of peace. God gave you this peace when Jesus came into your heart.
Prayer:
Father God, hallowed be Your name. Father, I pray that your children will never forget the source of peace and that they will live in Your presence and enjoy the peace of God all of the days of their life.
Father, I pray that Your children will decide today that the devil is a liar, and He cannot steal our peace. Our Savior and Lord have us securely in His arms, and our peace is safe and secure in Jesus. Let all of God’s children say, Amen.
