Jesus is reminding us that in Him we may have peace and because we're in Him He will enable us to overcome whatever is troubling us. That is good news!😊
Peace is not a place or set of circumstances, peace is a Person. Scripture says Jesus is the Prince of Peace and when we are in Him then His peace is in us and available to us to draw on. We don't have to wait till everything calms down before we can have peace. Ephesians 6:15 says we can put on peace shoes and walk in His peace! I like that idea don't you?😊
Peace in that verse is the Greek word 'eirene' which means peace, prosperity, quietness, rest and to set at one again, or you could say with nothing missing, nothing broken. We can call on Jesus' peace to bring His calm and wholeness, or if there is lack for His peace to bring prosperity, if there is turmoil for His peace to bring quietness into the situation.
So when we're disturbed we can turn to Jesus and say "I'm dealing with stuff that's really upsetting but I'm drawing on Your peace Lord. I need some of Your quietness right now. I ask You to step in and bring healing and wholeness back into this situation and I receive it by faith. Thank You Lord."
Jesus finished by saying "Cheer up!" and He's saying the same thing to you and me. God has placed us in Him and He's given us His peace so let's take it by faith today and cheer up because the Prince of Peace is working things out for our good, bringing His peace and prosperity and making things whole. His abiding victory is ours. Amen.😊
