About This Quote

In Jesus the full meaning of peace is revealed: he gave peace, made peace and is our peace. In the Bible, the word “peace” can have many meanings. In this quote, Luther is referring to the unique peace that only God can give. This type of peace is a life-giving power that allows a person to live in a way that reflects the character of God.

Luther is saying that in Jesus, we have a glimpse of what true peace looks like. We can know this peace because God has given us his Son, Jesus Christ. He has given us an example of how to live in a way that reflects his character.

This type of peace does not depend on any outside force or entity—it comes from an inside source that transcends all human conditions—God himself.
