John 14 – The Listening Plan

Devotional

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

– John 14:27

There are a lot of troubled people in the world. Why wouldn’t there be? It often feels—especially in our day and age with a constant flow of news and information from around the world—that the world we live in is in continual chaos. Whether it be terrorist attacks, earthquakes, wars, viruses and potential pandemics; there are a lot of things to be troubled over. Yet Jesus says, “Let not your heart be troubled.” Twice in John 14 He says, “Let not your heart be troubled.” How can we live like this? Simple. Rest your heart completely upon the peaceful assurance given to us of a life beyond this life through Jesus Christ.

“I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
