Hope

John 16:33

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

It seems as though everywhere we turn, we are hearing negative things about the world today.  About what is to come and how bad it is.  Brothers and sisters in Christ, Jesus Christ himself warned us of this!  We need to realize that in order to have everlasting joy with our Lord and Savior, we have to first endure the pain and suffering of this world that was predicted.  John 16 talks about how the world will rejoice while us Christians mourn and suffer. 

We all want to get to the point of the perfect ending with Christ, however to get there, the rest of the story must first take place. 

We are instructed to have peace in Christ because he has overcome the world. 


Instead of being worried and anxious about the future, let’s trust the Lord and be hopeful and appreciate that the end will be worth the struggles.
