John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.

What is Jesus talking about when He says “I leave you peace?” Paul tells us that we have peace if we have repented and put our trust in God; “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 5:1). We were once enemies of God but through Jesus’ atoning work at Calvary, the hostility between us and God is placed on Jesus so it won’t have to be placed on us but only because “Christ died for the ungodly” (Rom 5:6b) and we have been freed “from the wrath of God” (Rom 5:9c).
