50 Teachings of Jesus: #2 Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled.
John 14: 27:
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 16: 33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Matthew 25-26 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
Takeaway: I always read scriptures in context. So I encourage you to read everything around these above scriptures. Here is my takeaway to above teachings.
Obey Jesus teachings and he will come and make a home within you. The spirit of truth will teach and remind you of His words. Study his teachings. Ask Anything in Yahshua’s name and be obedient children of light and you will receive. The knowledge of Father’s love will give you peace. He loves you and will always provide. Do not worry because stress shortens days. Fear, worry and concern cancels faith. Share the hope and love of Jesus with others, stressing the importance of living a life focused on the eternal. Focusing on serving and loving G-d , rather than focusing our energies on the heavy yoke of this world brings peace during difficult times. Count your blessings, sing praise songs. Remember when you pray for needs, to thank him for what he has already provided.
