have told you this so that you might have peace in me.
Jesus knew most of his followers would scatter when it mattered most, afraid to be seen with him because their own lives could be at risk. He knew he would be isolated. And that is a feeling with which we as humans are all too familiar. Perhaps the person we loved most in the world has died, or a trusted friend has betrayed us, or we feel misled by someone who provided what we thought was good advice. We guard our hearts rather than trusting again and feel so alone.
That feeling is understandable. Others will always will let us down, often unintentionally. But their failings—and our own—need not rob us of the peace that surpasses all understanding. Jesus held on to that peace, offering prayers to God even as he breathed his last. He showed us we are never truly alone, and no one can snatch peace from us.
How can you find peace today in a situation that threatens to isolate you?
