Introduction

What is peace? An example from Kung Fu Panda.

Some background to John 14:27.

Here Jesus contrasts two completely different kinds of peace we can have in our lives and in this world. The two kinds of peace are:

A. A PEACE THE WORLD GIVES
“Not as the world gives do I give to you.” – John 14:27b

B. THE PEACE JESUS GIVES
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you … Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” – John 14:27

Four kinds of peace in the peace Jesus gives:
1. A peace with God (Romans 5:1)
2. A peace with others (Ephesians 2:13-18)
3. A peace with self  (Romans 5:8)
4. A peace from God  (Philippians 4:7)

Conclusion
We can have the gift of peace that Jesus wants to give us today!
