John 16:33
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.”
John 17:13-19
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
Jesus told His Disciples there were troubles in the world in His time...As we look around this world today, we can see its troubles...Jesus knows about the troubles...He told His Disciples there would be troubles in this world...And He later would pray for His Disciples...
So it seems no matter what we do on earth there have been and will be troubles in this world and in our lives...
