2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace
Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be
with you all.
● Calmness, quietness, tranquility
● Lack of fighting or war
● Well-being and fullness of life.
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
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27 (NLT) “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of
mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world
cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27 (MSG) I’m leaving you well and whole. That’s
my parting gift to you. Peace. I don’t leave you the way
you’re used to being left—feeling abandoned, bereft. So
don’t be upset. Don’t be distraught.
John 14:27 (Amp C) Peace I leave with you; My [own]
peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world
gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be
troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing
yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not
permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and
cowardly and unsettled.]
Judges 6:24 - Gideon - The Lord is Peace
● Gideon was cowardly, unsettled, intimidated, and
fearful before the presence of God showed up.
● After peace came...Gideon was still oppressed by
the Midianites and his family still worshiping false
gods...but he was no longer cowardly, unsettled,
intimidated, or fearful.
Peter
● John 13 Peter says he’ll never deny Jesus
● John 18 Peter denies Jesus
● John 21:19 Peter is restored and told “follow me”
● Acts 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, etc. Peter not moved by crowds,
the call, persecution, ignorance...he is no longer
cowardly, unsettled, intimidated, or fearful.
● Gal 2 we see Peter has slipped back into a little bit
of his old self and Paul calls him out.
