PEACE… peace of mind, peace of heart, peace in the family, peace among nations, peace in your city. Are those types of peace illusive and very difficult to produce, where you live and almost anywhere in the world?
Today is Thursday after Easter, and I wonder, is there any greater peace where you live, a few days after Easter, than there was a week or a month before Easter? Yesterday I left you, along with the closest friends of Jesus, pondering some of the last words Jesus spoke before He was crucified. He said “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)
