These things I have spoken to you that in Me you will
have peace. In the world you
Will have tribulation; but be of good cheer. I have
overcome the world.
John
16:33 (NKJV)
Jesus gives His disciples further guidance in this
passage. He tells them that He has chosen to say these things for them to find
peace in Him.
He cautions them that they will have tribulation. (And
they did.) However, he tells them to “be of good cheer.” He then states. “I
have overcome the world.”
In our present time, we face many harsh circumstances in
our lives. COVID, personal illnesses, loss of family members, etc. When we look
at what Jesus went through as He hung on that cross and the reason He consented
to doing it. He did it for us to be deemed worthy to enter heaven.
What we experience during our time on this earth is nothing in comparison. The Apostle Paul called what we go through while we are on earth “momentary troubles”(2 Corinthians 4:17 NIV). He overcame the world for our sake. We have peace with God because of what Jesus did- He died in our place. As we live for Christ, we should always remember this.
Yes, what we have to endure and experience here on earth is nothing compared to the glory and joy of heaven! "It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus!, Earth's trials will seem so small when we see Christ..."
