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!
