                          Pentecost - Part 4
                              John 14:27
                              05/29/2026


        27   Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
             Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not
             your hearts be troubled, neither let them be
             afraid.  (ESV)

        What is the result of the Holy Spirit creating the faith in
   our hearts which receives and treasures the Word of God?  It is
   the sure and certain knowledge that our Lord Jesus Christ
   suffered, died, and rose again from the grave to pay the price of
   our sin.

        Certainly, the Word of God, the Law, accuses us of sin.  You
   and I cannot escape the truth that we have broken the letter and
   spirit of God's Law by our actions and inactions.  You and I
   cannot escape the truth that we have harmed our neighbors, our
   friends, our families, by our selfish desires.

        The peace of God is not merely a pause in conflict.  It is
   the sure and certain knowledge that our sins are forgiven for the
   sake of Christ Jesus.  He told His disciples: ``Peace I leave
   with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I
   give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be
   afraid.''

        Because the Word of God brings us the Gospel, the proper
   work of our Savior, we are bold to pray.
        O God, on this day You once taught the hearts of Your
        faithful people by sending them the light of Your Holy
        Spirit.  Grant us in our day by the same Spirit to have
        a right understanding in all things and evermore to
        rejoice in His holy consolation.


        Please join us this Sunday at 9:00 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran
   Church to hear more of God's love, grace, and mercy as we
   celebrate Trinity Sunday, the first Sunday of the second half of
   the Church Year.

        May our Lord grant us the peace which is beyond
   understanding.  Amen.
