Season of Epiphany

Heb 3:12-19 Hold firm to your faith
Jn 3:31-36 He who comes from above is above all

Ephesians 2
14	For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility,
15	by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,
16	and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bringing the hostility to an end.
17	And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near;
18	for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
19	So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20	built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
21	in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
22	in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

John 14
27	Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
28	You heard me say to you, `I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.
29	And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe.
30	I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me;
31	but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go hence
