Jesus said
to His Disciples, "Peace I bequeath
to you, My Own peace I give you: a
peace the world cannot give, this
is My gift to you … The world
must be brought to know that I love
the Father and that I am doing exactly
what the Father told Me to".
John
14:27-31
So was it always during My Incarnate
life, My meat and drink, My peace,
to do the will of Him who sent Me.
The love which prompted the loving
Heavenly Father to bid Me come among
the sons of men, taking their nature,
living as one of them, is also the
love with which I love the Father.
And that same love brought Me to
die for them that they might live
through Me: the Father raised Me
up to live with Him and they with
Us in life eternal. This was the
Father's loving will and purpose
with which I identified before time
was and lived out in faithfulness
in My Incarnate life.
This is the pattern set for all
the Father's children whoever lived,
to find and live the Father's loving
purpose as it is offered: for each
a part in life, to each resources
given as each responds in love and
faithfulness. Each one must freely
come, and choices he will find along
the way: setbacks and failures are
stepping-stones along the way for
all who look to Me for absolution
and renewal.
This is the peace I give to all
who live in Me. It is the Father's
peace, and through Our Holy Spirit
binds all in love and life eternal.
