Good answers! Sometimes its easier to explain what something isnt. The opposite of peace is alarm, doubt, dread, conflict, and distress. If these things are the opposite, then peace is calmness, harmony and contentment. There are innumerable things in life that can disrupt our peace. They are often referred to as the “storms of life.” These storms can be anything from being embarrassed in front of your peers, your house burning down, fighting with your boyfriend/girlfriend, or even battling sickness. The list goes on and on. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all three tell a story in the Bible about a time when Jesus and his disciples (followers) were in a literal storm. They were out in a boat on the Sea of Galilea, when this enormous storm comes. The waves are crashing down on them, and the disciples are terrified. Meanwhile, Jesus is asleep. The disciples wake him and say, “Save us! We’re going to drown!” Jesus tells the wind and water, “Be still!” And everything is calm. He turns to the disciples and says, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” The disciples were amazed and asked each other, “Who is this man, that even the wind and waves obey him?”
