It was the evening of the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood among them. He told them, "Peace be with you."
To focus our minds on the human nature leads to death, but to focus our minds on the Spirit leads to life and peace.
Because of the tender mercy of our God, his light from on high has visited us, to shine on those who sit in darkness and in death's shadow, and to guide our feet into the way of peace."
For God's kingdom does not consist of food and drink, but of righteousness, peace, and joy produced by the Holy Spirit.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, LORD, enable me to live securely. To the Director: For flutes. A Davidic Psalm
Now may the Lord of peace give you his peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.
