Behold
“Comfort in Chaos”
John 14

“…the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” - Isaiah 7:14

Sign = Proof

The Christmas “sign” will be missed if our celebration ends at the manger.

Don’t miss that Jesus…
	Is worth relying on
	Meets us in our suffering
	Brings comfort in chaos

John 14

Chaos
	“Do not let your hearts be troubled”
	Really?

Peace = Comfort

2 Kinds of Peace
	World - Comes and goes, connected to problems, affected by surroundings
	Jesus - Lasting, connected to Jesus, internal, strength & hope

Familiarity and legalism destroy peace!

Jesus came to bring…
	Peace of mind, as we trust
		Free of anxiety
		Believing He has a plan
		Allowing a new perspective

Trust can be diminished when Jesus becomes overly familiar.

By the way
	Magnitude vs. Multitude

Jesus came to bring…
	Peace of heart, when we love
		Love produces obedience
		Obedience recognizes the Spirit
		Spirit removes loneliness
		Closeness gives peace of heart

Love is not behavior modification, but heart transformation.

Where do you need to trust Jesus today?
Do you love Jesus like you want to?
