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.
