Chris.
Jesus sent the Disciples out in Peace. He told them that He was giving them His Peace. This was, and still is, a very wonderful Promise from the Lord, the Promise of Peace. This World is full of people who complain of having no Peace, they need the Christ of the Gospels, then they can have Peace with God, Peace from God and Peace between themselves.
