To Sum It Up:

From: A Post titled – Supernatural Peace by Jim Cymbala

The words of the ancient blessing from Aaron and his priestly descendants struck a chord in the hearts of judges like Deborah and Gideon, and they still do in our hearts today:

  • The LORD bless you and keep you;
  • The LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you;
  • The LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace. – Numbers 6:24-26

Notice the phrasing here. This kind of peace is not just a human achievement. It is a gift from above.

That is certainly what Jesus said to his disciples during the Last Supper:

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
