We tend to think of peace as meaning there is no tension or conflict. But the peace that Jesus talks about here isn’t referring to that. In fact, in this verse, Jesus pretty much says the opposite is true. That there WILL be difficult times and challenging circumstances—we can be sure of it. But He offers peace in the middle of whatever we face. We don’t have to wait for things to be perfect to experience peace. We can experience it right here and right now. Next time you experience a type of disruption that causes worry or fear and makes you think peace is impossible, pray and ask God for His peace, and to be aware to experience it when nothing may feel peaceful.
