Old age was an advantage when elders were chosen as leaders, and rain was an occasion for rejoicing in […]

VERSE OF THE DAY:
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.- 1 Peter 1:18-19 (NIV)
bit.ly/2IOo98bI leave you peace; my peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don’t let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
- John 14:27 (NCV)
STUDY THIS:
Peace … my peace. A common Hebrew greeting, which Jesus uses here in an unusual way. The term speaks, in effect, of the salvation that Christ’s redemptive work will achieve for his disciples—total well-being and inner rest of spirit, in fellowship with God. All true peace is his gift, which the repetition emphasizes.
