“May the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with all of you.” (v. 16)

I don’t know how your day has started.

I don’t know your stresses. I don’t know your pains. I don’t know your questions or your challenges or your fears.

I do, however, know my own.

And, if yours are like mine, then you have found yourself needing what I have needed, too.

Peace.

Thank God for His gospel promises! For He has told us: Jesus is our peace. He is the Lord of Peace. And He gives peace in every way!

That’s peace, even though you feel inadequate. That’s peace, even though you know your sin and shame and guilt. That’s peace, even though the pace of life sets these fleeting years ablaze. Because of the grace-gift of everlasting life, there is peace.

Today and tomorrow and every day, in every way, Jesus is our peace.

Rest in that.
