Take Heart

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.

This verse has got to be among one of my favorite verses.  There are so many times in our lives that we face trouble.  Times where we might go astray or simply struggle with why God would allow something to happen.

I’m sure if you were to stop and think about it, you could write a list of troubles you have seen in this world.  These can be some of the hardest times of our lives, where we question God’s existence. 

Brothers and sisters in Christ, take heart!  The verse does not end with saying that we will face trouble.  The ending is that Christ has overcome the world!  Some day he will return to take us to Heaven with him and at that point, we too can say that we have overcome the world through Christ Jesus.

Have a great weekend!
