What Does It Mean To Have Peace?

"My peace I leave with you," said Jesus as He met with the disciples in the Upper Room.  This was immediately followed by two commands:  Don't be troubled; don't be afraid."  What Jesus had in mind was a good deal more than worry, being concerned about something. The word means to be confused, to be in turmoil, to be distraught.  And that's the condition of many people today who have trouble sleeping, are anxious, fearful, and have hearts filled with worry.
