John 16:33
In This World There Will be Trouble
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.”
Nahum 1:7
The LORD is Good
7 The LORD is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him.
Jesus tells us that in this world we will have problems...Jesus always talked about heaven and His Father...No one knew and knows more about God, than His Blessed Son...So even though Jesus was part of the Father, and teaches us about God and heaven, we still will have trouble...But we can take heart, because Jesus have overcome the world and the troubles in this world and is resurrected and it alive...Jesus has overcome death...He lives eternally with His Father...
So we can expect time of trouble, despair, and suffering in this world...The Prophet Nahum tells us the the LORD is good and then says in He is a refuge in times of troubles...God is good, but allows us to be in trouble...God gives us free choice, and we will have troubles in this world...When we are in these expected times of trouble, we must look to Him...We must endure in His comfort...We must remember that Jesus have overcome ALL troubles in this world...Jesus tells us these things so that we will have peace...The peace will not be on this earth...There will be hardships...There will be old age, failing health, and death...This is the world that God has created....The natural laws are just as God created them...He allows troubles, hardships, old age, failing health, and death...But He also cares for those who trust in Him...He gives us a peace that His Son offers, only if we believe...All this relief will come when we go into His Kingdom, His heaven and then we will have the peace that His Son teaches us...
