G'morning! 
Peace "not as the world gives"
In this time of preparation for war, and amidst quite a wide variety of voices calling for "peace," I thought it might be good to consider these words of Jesus (John 14:27)...
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
I'm interested in how people understand this passage. How is Jesus' peace (the peace we also seek for ourselves and others, I assume) different from the peace "the world gives"?
Thoughts?
Love in Christ, - Jesse.

Nails didn't hold Jesus to the cross, LOVE did!
Be not afraid, I go before you always. Come follow Me, and I will give you rest. (Jesus Christ)
