John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” what's an example of this in the world today

John 14:5: “Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?” Thomas honestly expresses the confusion the disciples are feeling. He doesn’t pretend to understand or stay quiet; he tells Jesus he doesn’t know the destination or how to get there. His question shows that, to him, knowing the way depends on getting a clear explanation. This verse reminds us that faith doesn’t always begin with all the answers. It can also take the form of an honest question directed to Jesus. Thomas doesn’t walk away; he brings what he doesn’t understand straight to the Lord. That can encourage us to come to God with our doubts without feeling ashamed of them.

Sermon: The Comforter Remains John 14:16: “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;” In this promise, we see a loving relationship: Jesus asks the Father, and the Father gives. The Comforter is not presented as temporary help, but as someone who remains with believers. In the Christian faith, we recognize the Holy Spirit as this Comforter. The idea of remaining offers comfort on days of encouragement as well as days of confusion. God’s presence does not depend on always feeling the same way or having all the answers. Jesus promises lasting companionship. So, seeking the Holy Spirit’s guidance does not mean demanding signs or expecting every decision to be easy. We can ask God to shape us in truth, give us wisdom to act with love, and sustain us when we feel weak. This is one practical way to live out the promise: trusting that we do not walk abandoned. May this word encourage the church to pray, listen humbly, and reflect Christ’s character in daily life. The Comforter remains; that is why there is hope even when the way ahead is still unclear. In this sermon, I focus on John 14:16 and do not add any other Bible references.

I understand that you’re looking for a practical way to bring this verse into your daily life. In John 14:30, Jesus is speaking with his disciples as his arrest draws near. He says: John 14:30: “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” Jesus recognizes that a hostile force is approaching, but says it has no power over him and finds no complicity in him. For today, you might take this as an invitation to stay faithful to what you know is good, even when you feel pressure or fear, or when another way seems easier. It doesn’t mean you won’t face difficulties; it shows that opposition alone doesn’t determine whom you belong to or how you’ll act. One simple step could be to respond with integrity in a specific situation today, without letting fear lead you to betray your convictions.
