John 16:33
Peace and Troubles in this World
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."
In chapter sixteen, Jesus has been teaching His disciples about His relationship and ties to our Father...Jesus soon will be going to the Father...
Jesus tells His disciples He has told them these things so they may have peace...Their understanding of Jesus' special relationship with God and that He came from God will bring them some peace...But He reminds them, that in this world that we will have trouble...
But if we have faith and take heart, peace will come again and stay with us forever, if we just remember that Jesus has overcome this world...Jesus can bring a peace that only He can bring to this world...He can give us an abundant life in this troubled world, if we have faith in Him...
