5/25/2025 The Peace of Christ

This week's reading from the Gospel of John includes some of my favorite verses of Scripture. Jesus says to his disciples, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid." I don't know about you, but I need to hear those words from Jesus on a daily - and sometimes hourly - basis. as Pastor Katelyn Gordon Cooke tells us, there's a lot about our world and in our personal lives that is troubling and that makes me afraid. I need that encouragement and invitation from Jesus to receive his peace.
