Show Notes

Today’s episode explores the remarkable contentment of Jesus, even in the midst of storms, injustice, and suffering. From sleeping through a violent sea storm to calmly responding to Pilate’s threats and surrendering in Gethsemane, Jesus models a peace not rooted in circumstances but in deep trust in the Father. His ability to remain steady in chaos was not due to indifference but to His clear identity, intimate communion with God, and unwavering belief in the Father’s sovereignty and goodness.

Today’s devotional also reflects on Jesus as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy: the Prince of Peace. His calm in adversity is not passive but active—a peace that radiates through service, forgiveness, prayer, and presence. Whether facing political power or personal agony, Jesus never grasped for control but embodied divine composure and trust. His peace brought wholeness, not just relief, and stands as an invitation for us to embody the same calm, not by our strength, but through relationship with God.

Finally, the devotional calls us to “get deep” with Jesus by adopting His practices and mindset. We are encouraged to anchor our identity in the Father, seek His presence in solitude, surrender our desire for control, and face life’s trials with faith. Jesus' contentment shows us that true peace is not found in external stability but in internal surrender. As His followers, we are called not just to admire His calm—but to live it, trusting the same Father and walking in the same peace.
