[1037.14 --> 1037.54] How?
[1039.44 --> 1040.34] John 14.
[1040.64 --> 1041.40] Jesus said this.
[1042.22 --> 1043.54] All this I have spoken to you.
[1044.66 --> 1045.86] While still with you.
[1045.94 --> 1046.52] But the advocate.
[1046.64 --> 1047.22] The Holy Spirit.
[1047.28 --> 1048.64] Whom the Father will send in my name.
[1048.70 --> 1049.78] Will teach you all things.
[1049.78 --> 1050.86] I am going to remind you.
[1050.86 --> 1051.84] Of everything I have said to you.
[1052.56 --> 1054.00] Peace I leave with you.
[1054.10 --> 1055.20] My peace I give.
[1055.50 --> 1056.92] I do not give as the world gives.
[1057.44 --> 1058.08] Do not fear.
[1058.90 --> 1060.06] Or do not let your hearts be troubled.
[1060.16 --> 1060.96] Do not be afraid.
[1061.72 --> 1063.30] Jesus says to his followers.
[1063.94 --> 1065.62] I am leaving my peace with you.
[1066.00 --> 1067.64] With the power of the Holy Spirit.
[1068.72 --> 1069.84] You are not on your own.
[1071.42 --> 1073.16] My forever peace I leave with you.
[1073.70 --> 1075.42] And this is the peace that stays with us.
[1075.62 --> 1077.80] This is the catalyst against the fear.
[1077.80 --> 1079.04] And against the darkness.
[1079.04 --> 1081.08] Peace bigger than troubles and fear.
[1081.40 --> 1082.66] Bigger than sin and death.
[1083.90 --> 1085.86] And it's interesting to me that Jesus uses a command.
[1086.12 --> 1088.02] He commands his disciples on us.
[1088.46 --> 1090.18] Do not be afraid.
[1092.84 --> 1094.44] It doesn't sound optional.
[1095.92 --> 1096.56] And we might say.
[1096.64 --> 1096.84] Well yeah.
[1096.94 --> 1099.86] But have you seen what's going on in the world?
[1100.98 --> 1101.88] Don't be afraid.
[1102.72 --> 1102.92] Yeah.
[1102.96 --> 1104.80] But have you seen the mess I am?
[1105.52 --> 1106.44] Don't be afraid.
[1106.44 --> 1110.60] Have you seen all the negative powers that work around me and in the world?
[1110.80 --> 1111.52] Don't be afraid.
[1112.60 --> 1115.86] My peace I leave with you through the spirit in you.
[1117.28 --> 1118.64] And he says it again in John 16.
[1118.76 --> 1122.14] I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.
[1122.22 --> 1123.56] In me you may have peace.
[1123.76 --> 1125.50] In this world you will have trouble.
[1125.72 --> 1125.90] Right?
[1126.14 --> 1127.06] We are not there yet.
[1127.26 --> 1127.80] But take heart.
[1127.86 --> 1128.82] I have overcome the world.
[1128.82 --> 1133.56] And we see this throughout scripture.
[1134.18 --> 1135.38] A God who is on the move.
[1136.02 --> 1138.46] Moving through the chaos as I said in John.
[1138.72 --> 1139.48] Toward wholeness.
[1139.60 --> 1140.26] Toward shalom.
[1142.12 --> 1143.84] He's doing that in your life.
[1145.08 --> 1146.18] Trust that.
[1147.46 --> 1150.74] That same God who was born a man comes to us.
[1150.84 --> 1151.26] To you.
[1151.26 --> 1153.10] He comes to you in your chaos.
[1153.16 --> 1153.78] And he creates.
[1154.06 --> 1154.76] He brings peace.
[1155.08 --> 1155.72] He restores.
[1156.06 --> 1156.64] He delivers.
[1156.64 --> 1156.84] He delivers.
[1159.16 --> 1162.80] And the conflicts don't necessarily just simply go away.
[1163.42 --> 1164.64] But they are overcome.
[1165.28 --> 1167.34] They are places of transformation.
[1168.00 --> 1169.78] And they're replaced with forever shalom.
[1171.46 --> 1171.92] So yes.
[1172.52 --> 1173.30] You're going through a lot.
[1173.98 --> 1175.72] In this world there will be trouble.
[1176.82 --> 1180.10] This might be the first Christmas without a loved one.
[1182.44 --> 1182.64] You know.
[1182.64 --> 1184.66] I was talking to somebody this morning.
[1184.66 --> 1188.40] About mom who passed away at 94.
[1188.70 --> 1191.24] But the Banner Swags and the Ben Randons.
[1191.36 --> 1192.66] Mom just passed away as well.
[1192.86 --> 1193.26] My mom.
[1193.68 --> 1195.08] This is the first Christmas without her.
[1195.48 --> 1196.80] In our lives too.
[1198.10 --> 1198.32] Yeah.
[1198.34 --> 1199.66] There will be trouble.
[1199.82 --> 1203.24] But death is still taking its toll in that sense.
[1203.82 --> 1207.20] And yet we have the great confidence of eternal life.
[1207.20 --> 1209.28] And then there's people who say.
[1209.40 --> 1209.50] Well yeah.
[1209.52 --> 1210.76] But I feel alone.
[1210.82 --> 1211.38] Or I am alone.
[1211.58 --> 1213.30] Or they may be fighting illness.
[1213.94 --> 1215.42] Or they're unemployed.
[1215.58 --> 1216.64] And struggling financially.
[1216.78 --> 1218.44] Or dealing with relational messes.
[1218.58 --> 1219.92] Or mental health struggles.
[1220.32 --> 1223.42] Peace can feel a long ways away.
[1226.62 --> 1227.70] And so we wait.
[1228.46 --> 1229.64] That's what Adam's about.
[1230.40 --> 1231.82] But we wait with words.
[1231.88 --> 1232.34] What words?
[1233.14 --> 1233.48] Love.
[1233.74 --> 1233.98] Hope.
