“Peace I leave with you” (John 14:27).
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).
When the Lord Jesus went to Calvary’s cross, He completed the work so that all our sins could be washed away. According to our second verse today, we now have peace with God through the Lord Jesus, and we are justified by putting our faith in Him.
This is what the Lord Jesus meant when He said, “Peace I leave with you.” He was going away: He was going to ascend back to heaven after He rose from the dead. But He was going to leave them with peace as to their salvation, for He would finish the work on the cross. There is nothing more to be done, and you and I can have total peace about all our sins being forgiven.
