Not As the World Gives Peace
John 14:23-29

In the early 80's while the threat of nuclear war still hung over most the world there was a couple who, so fearful of that threat, sought to find a place somewhere on this planet where they would be free from the danger. After much time and attention to geography, trying to find the securest place possible, they settled on a group of islands, seemingly isolated from the world, called the Falklands. You will recall in 1982, not long after they had settled there, a brief, undeclared war was fought between Argentina and Great Britain in 1982 over the control of the Falkland Islands. Overnight there paradise was turned into a war zone.

Jesus said, "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."
