27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)
If we don’t have peace from within, world peace doesn’t matter to us much. Many seek distractions to relieve inner turmoil due to all sorts of anxieties from within. But nobody can escape themselves. No matter what we do or our circumstances, the only true peace we can have is the peace Jesus promises His people of a believing heart.

Revelation 21:6-9
NASB
‘Then He said to me,
“It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirst from the spring of the water of life without cost.”
“He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son.”
“But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying,
“Come here, I will show you the bride,
the wife of the Lamb.”’

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

WISDOM OF JAMES SMITH
If you are a sincere believer in Jesus, whatever may be your present difficult circumstances, however trying, however perplexing:
"It will all end in mercy!"
You may not think so now.
You may be writing bitter things against yourself.
You may be misinterpreting the designs of God's providence.
You may be doubting the precious promises of God's holy Word.
But notwithstanding your mistakes, your doubts, your fears, your false conclusions--
"It will all end in mercy!"
James Smith - 1856
The main reason why Jesus was born also became His main accusation that led to His crucifixion. Jesus was born to be the King of His kingdom on earth. This new kingdom is to be established in the hearts of regenerated men and women.
"Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice." John 18:37
The accusation against Jesus that was hung over His head on the cross was, "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS." Matthew 27:37

"Her Firstborn Son"
You explained it so well here, Pedro. I was explaining much of what you said here to a neighbor of mine recently. She is an older person who always believed in God and read her bible. Still, for life’s reasons, she never had any discipling or bible instructions. So living next door to me now, she reads and prays daily. And she is asking some deep questions, keeping me sharp so that I don’t grow dull in these things by God’s watch-care.
God bless you! Merry Christmas!

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
In preaching the gospel, always focus on the matter of the will. Belief must come from the will to believe. There must be a surrender of the will, not a surrender to a persuasive or powerful argument.

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, viz. into character.
We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
