Men will seek peace, and march for peace, and even demonstrate for peace, but here we understand how peace is given and imparted. One of the reasons that made Jesus such a good teacher was that he used visual aids. It is as we move into John Chapter 15 that we come to the last picture Jesus used in His teaching.
