 Jesus' favorite word after his resurrection is "peace." Christ's peace is the antidote to most endemic diseases of modern, secular society: stress, depression, and anxiety. We have all been affected by those diseases. As our friendship with the resurrected Lord grows deeper, we are gradually healed of those diseases, because he brings us his three-fold peace. First, peace for our mind. Second, peace for our heart. Third, peace for our soul. The peace of the resurrected Christ is what we really need. The Psalmist puts it well: "As soon as I lie down, I fall peacefully asleep, for you alone, O LORD, bring security to my dwelling.
