Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 1

DAY 14 OF 21

While the disciples have no idea that the crucifixion is just around the corner, Jesus is preparing their hearts and minds for what lies ahead.

There are a number of significant topics Jesus touches on: union with the Father, the presence of the Father in our lives, love, the Holy Spirit, the work of the Holy Spirit, His commandments, and ultimately how do we submit to the reality of His work?

During this discussion, Jesus brought up the issue of peace.

A 700-year-old prophecy predicted that Jesus would be the Prince of Peace... there would be no end to the increase of His government and peace. Peace is something that increases in our lives. As a follower of Christ, the peace I experience today should be greater than yesterday's peace. I should step into tomorrow with more peace than today. However, this is directly linked to the increase of His authority over our lives.

Earlier in the chapter, Jesus says: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life!

By submitting our lives to this reality: His Way, His Truth, His Life, we will experience His peace - not as the world gives, but as He gives!

What can you do today to access the peace of God in your life?
