The pace intensifies as Jesus enters the last few days of his life on earth. He eats his last Passover meal with his disciples and announces both a betrayal and a denial. The disciples' anxiety levels had probably reached an all-time high.

And then Jesus declares, "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." (John 14:1) and promises to give them his peace, not the world's peace.

Jesus gives this same promise of peace today to troubled hearts and a troubled world.
