What "Peace" Did Jesus Bring?

Jesus said: "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). The “world” offers “peace” by increasing government power; or giving up to one’s enemies; or signing toothless treaties; or retreating into drugs and alcohol; or speeding through life while preoccupied by electronics, jobs, athletics, or shopping! Jesus’ “Peace” comes only to those who obey His Will. "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). Paul wrote to Christians: “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you” (Philippians 4:9). - February 21, 2022

Have a Good Heart: Mini Article Now Available

Solomon said: “He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26).  Jeremiah wrote: "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9); and “O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps (Jeremiah 10:23). God’s inspired Word tells us not to depend only upon what our own heart says about our spiritual condition, but to listen to what God has said. “But ‘he who glories, let him glory in the LORD.’ For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends”              (2 Corinthians 10:17-18). Nowhere in the Bible are we told to “follow your own heart.” “A deceitful heart finds no good” (Proverbs 17:20).  - August 30, 2021

QUESTION: Jesus didn't teach "absolute values", did He? - 6/13/2021
