John 16:29-33
Jesus Has Overcome this World
29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.”
31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
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 17:3
Now this is Eternal Life
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
God is Almighty and is in control of all things...His Will gets done on earth as it does in heaven...Yet most of the time He is very subtle....He is able to weave the lives of all who have ever lived into a story of the history on earth...With all the trials, tribulations, and each person’s life experiences have been put together with God involved...And often our lives look chaotic and much of the time without much sense or purpose...
Yet, in this tangled mess of trials and tribulations of life, God has a second book, the New Testament and that story is about the overcoming of suffering, and the trials of life, and the troubles of this world, and shows us the Kingdom of Heaven, and tells us about our future life and the Future World...And God has sent His Son to earth in such a way that many did not recognize Him as Divine...Jesus teaches us the eternities...The New Testament and Jesus teach us about eternal life...And this is Eternal Life: that people may know God, the One True God, and Jesus -the One Whom God has sent to earth...
