The Gift of His Peace

25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
26 But athe Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will bsend in My name, cHe will teach you all things, and bring to your dremembrance all things that I said to you.  
27 aPeace 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.  
28 You have heard Me asay to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because1 I said, b‘I am going to the Father,’ for cMy Father is greater than I.  
29 “And anow I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.  
30 I will no longer talk much with you, afor the ruler of this world is coming, and he has bnothing in Me.

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you—If John 14:25-26 sounded like a note of preparation for drawing the discourse to a close, this would sound like a farewell. But oh, how different from ordinary adieus! It is a parting word, but of richest import, the customary "peace" of a parting friend sublimed and transfigured. As "the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6) He brought it into flesh, carried it about in His Own Person ("My peace") died to make it ours, left it as the heritage of His disciples upon earth, implants and maintains it by His Spirit in their hearts. Many a legacy is "left" that is never "given" to the legatee, many a gift destined that never reaches its proper object. But Christ is the Executor of His own Testament; the peace He "leaves" He "gives"; Thus all is secure.

not as the world giveth—in contrast with the world, He gives sincerely, substantially, eternally.
