[John 16:33] {first sentence reversed version}
"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. 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. I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace."
Peace is found through faith in Jesus.
Jesus is with you through the emotional roller coaster of life, for He has experienced all our hardships. He's experienced rejection (Isaiah 53:3), He's been betrayed (Mark 14:41), He's experienced persecution, shame, and condemnation. He was grieved by others sorrow (John 11:35) and saddened by great disappointment (Luke 19:41). He was abadoned by his friends (Matthew 14:51-52).
Jesus was even forsaken (separated) from God, his Father, when he needed him the most as He endured the suffering on the cross unto death.
Why would God himself (Jesus) go through all this pain, sorrow, suffering, and shame?
For us. So that he could comfort us in our most desperate times of need.
For us. So that he could comfort us in our most desperate times of need.
"For he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by Gods' power. For we also are weak in him, yet by Gods power we will live in him..." [2 Corithians 13:4].
We must not lose hope. For we know that we must go through the valley to stand before the mountain top of God. "Cast all your anxiety and trouble on him, for he cares for you "(1 Peter 5:8).
Have faith in his unfailing love. Fix the eyes of your heart on the Sonshine and you cannot see the shadows.
May the peace of God be in your hearts always; may Jesus be your faith that moves the mountains of doubt, trouble, and hardship in your Life. In Jesus I pray
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an enternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal"
