Peace in Christ

Jesus promises the Holy Spirit's teaching and remembrance, then gives His peace to disciples facing His departure. His peace differs from the world's gifts because it rests in His relationship with them. The passage addresses real trouble with His presence and promise, not an instruction to conceal emotion.
