*1*.

It's a *peace on t inside, an inner peace*.

*a*.

*JOHN 14:27*

                                           *i*.

You could even call this *peace* that *Christians have* *is an absence of fear & confusion*.*

*

                                           *ii*.

Jesus said in (*MATT, MARK, & LUKE*) that *there will be wars but let not your heart be troubled*.

*iii*.

In other words *don't worry, have peace*.

                                           *i*.

There's *going to be turmoil in t world* *but we* can *have* a *peace* on t inside that surpasses all understanding.

There's *many in t O.T*. that have *had peace* in t *midst of turmoil*.

We should *learn from* there *examples*.
