When Granny loudly, loudly, loudly laughed, calling my promised truck a dream, i had NO peace but vengeance. I tried to go to college, but uncle & Granny stopped me. At home, Joyce Meyer was very compelling. i started writing sermons. & i saw that is where my peace is. eace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.—The immediate context speaks of His departure from them (John 14:25 25"All this I have spoken while still with you. (John 14:28 28"You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.), and it is natural therefore to understand these words as suggested by the common Oriental formulas of leave-taking. Men said to each other when they met and parted, “Shalom! Shalom!” (Peace! Peace!) just as they say the “Salaam! Salaam!” in our own day. (See Luke 7:50 50Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." 1 Samuel 1:17 17Eli answered, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him." Acts 16:36 36The jailer told Paul, "The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace."; 1 Peter 5:14 14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ. Ephesians 6:23 23Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith from God the Father and the LORD Jesus Christ. James 2:16 16If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 3 John 1:14 14I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name..) He will leave them as a legacy the gift of “peace.” And this peace is more than a meaningless sound or even than a true wish. He repeats it with the emphatic “My,” and speaks of it as an actual possession which He imparts to them. “Peace on earth” was the angels’ message when they announced His birth; “peace to you” was His own greeting when He returned victorious from the grave. “He is our peace” (Ephesians 2:14 14For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,), and this peace is the farewell gift to the disciples from whom He is now departing. (Comp. John 20:21 21Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." John 14:27 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 16:33 33"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 20:26 26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" John 20:19 19On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"
