The Peace Jesus Offers

Text: John 14: 27

THE PEACE JESUS OFFERS

Jesus knew that His disciples were unsettled and troubled in their hearts as He spoke to them of His suffering and death. He wanted to assure their hearts by giving them His peace.

“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

1. “My peace”

There were two ways in which Jesus described His peace.

a. “Peace I leave with you”

i. Jesus would leave them shortly.

ii. But His peace is left with the Disciples!

b. “My peace I give to you”

i. Just in case the disciples did not fully understand what He meant by “leaving His peace”.

ii. He spoke of “giving” His peace to the Disciples.

c. The subtleties may not be fully comprehended.

i. But the blessing of peace may be fully comprehended.

ii. Peace of heart and mind were what the Disciples sorely needed.

2. “Not as the world gives do I give to you”

a. The world also offers to give peace.

b. Some features of the world’s kind of peace.

i. Temporary

ii. Mere feelings

iii. The source is from the world

c. “Do I give to you”

i. Jesus is the Source.

ii. His source is to be traced to God the Father.

3. “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”

a. The human heart is easily troubled.

b. It is very prone to being afraid.

c. The peace that Jesus offers will cause the heart not to be troubled or afraid.

This peace that Jesus offers comes from a truly Heavenly source!

经文：约翰福音 14：27

耶稣给予的平安

当耶稣对门徒们说了自己将要受苦和死，祂知道门徒们必会而感到不安和忧愁。因此，祂将自己的平安赐给他们，好安抚他们的心。

“我留下平安给你们，我将我的平安赐给你们。我所赐的不像世人所赐的，你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯。”

《约翰福音 14：27》

1. “我的平安”

耶稣用了两种方式形容祂的平安

a. “我留下平安给你们”

i. 耶稣很快就要离开他们了

ii. 可是祂的平安仍然陪着门徒们！

b. “我将我的平安赐给你们”

i. 倘若门徒们不了解“留下平安”的意思

ii. 祂特别地说会将祂的平安“赐”给门徒们

c. 细微之处可能不完全被理解

i. 可是他们却可以完全的理解平安的祝福

ii. 门徒们所需要的就是这份心里的平安

2. “不像世人所赐的”

a. 世人（世间）也有所赐的平安

b. 世人赐的平安的特点：

i. 是暂时性的

ii. 只不过是感情

iii. 源头是世间

c. “我所赐的”

i. 耶稣是源头

ii. 祂的源是上帝，祂的天父

3. “你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯”

a. 人心很容易忧愁

b. 很容易害怕

c. 耶稣赐的平安会使心不忧愁，也不胆怯

耶稣赐的平安的确来自天上！
