Peace in God’s Presence

Published: June 7, 2023, 9 a.m.

This week’s passage is John 14:12-31. The Gift of God’s Holy Spirit and the peace of mind only God can offer. The reassurance from Jesus that He does not abandon us but is with us. This is truth for believers today. Jesus has revealed himself to all. “If you love me obey my commands.” Loving God and loving people, the price is obedience, but the important part is loving Him, in love we obey. It is too overwhelming to go and be Jesus without God living in us. We must surrender all, including our ego. God’s gift outweighs  all we walk away from. The intimacy of God’s relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and in verse 20, we are included. There is nothing better than the presence of God.
