John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
THAT IN ME YE MIGHT HAVE PEACE
Peace is in JESUS, the only true peace is found in Him. The world can not give peace, it can give a false sense of peace, but that peace will never last. True and lasting peace, comes from JESUS. The world gives peace, occasionally, in circumstances that can change often and without notice. Circumstances are so changeable that it is very hard to predict the direction of the change. When changes in circumstances occur, there is fear, anxiety, and turmoil, the absence of peace. I have often heard people say: "Stop the world, I want to get off!!!" This is a sign of out of control circumstances and the loss of peace. A person might find peace in a good book or a bottle of strong drink; they might escape in videos or vacations, but that peace is very fragile.
In JESUS, peace is within the heart. Circumstances can change, but the heart remains at rest and at peace. There is the sure confidence that JESUS is in control and all of His promises are yes and amen. Faith in JESUS brings His peace. When we confess that JESUS is our peace, and believe this in our heart, the turmoil of this world will not fill us with fear, because we know that He has overcome the world.
JESUS CHRIST IS BORN ON EARTH, SALVATION HAS COME TO THE WORLD THROUGH HIM
