Dinner With Jesusنموونە

John 14 is an account of some of the last conversations Jesus had with His disciples before His arrest and then death. Knowing that context makes Jesus’ words here that much more meaningful. He was in the middle of facing circumstances that would cause Him to feel incredibly “troubled” and “afraid”—being betrayed, abandoned, and crucified. He spoke from the experience He was having right then. And in the midst of that, He told His disciples that peace is possible. It has nothing to do with our circumstances being perfect. It has nothing to do with everything working out. It has everything to do with a connection to a source of peace—Jesus—amid things that feel out of control. And the thing is, if Jesus can say peace is possible when He was facing what He was facing, it’s possible for us to say it as well.
