Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me. “I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. (John 14:23-27, NRSV)
Here Jesus foreshadows the coming of the Holy Spirit.
He tells us that He will send the advocate, the Holy Spirit, and the spirit will teach us everything and remind us of what Jesus said to us.
And then He tells us there will be peace. Not peace like we have here in this world. Because when Jesus gives us something he actually gives it to us, and we can rest assured in the peace that we will have.
And because He will give us peace, we can live without fear, and not cause trouble for ourselves. We know that God will be with us in the trouble that comes to us, so we need not make more for ourselves.
