Old Sage, Jesus said He gives us His Peace. Now what does He mean by Peace?
Good question.
And your opinion?
My opinion? Now that is a different matter. That I can tell you.
Yes?
I would suggest that Jesus meant true peace in every meaning of the word, whether for a person, a family, a nation or the whole world; or for His Church.
So you do not think Jesus meant only an inner personal peace for His followers?
I think He meant that but all the other meanings as well.
Go on.
Obviously Jesus meant an inner Peace of soul for His disciples down the ages, regardless of their personal sufferings. However, I believe He meant an inner Peace for His Church in that She contains the Treasury of Truth and knowing you have Truth is Peace indeed.
Yes, truly.
But also, I believe that families who have the Faith and pray together also have an inner Peace personally but also as a family, in spite of any trauma.
Further, I think that the Peace of Jesus will come upon the whole world where, for an era, nations will coexist peacefully and in great harmony.
Great! When will that happen?
Good question.
