John 16:33 "so that...you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Even though Jesus was headed for the darkest period of His life (of human history), He was concerned that His close friends understood what was coming. All these things He shared were to help them find peace through some very difficult days.
Jesus also desires to give us His peace. As a follower of Jesus, I will face problems in life. God never promises am easy life. The promise is that He has overcome everything I will ever face. That encouragement helps get us through the junk we encounter.
God, it is amazing that You have overcome everything I could ever face in this world. Thank You for the peace You promise to us. Thank You that I can take heart. Your love and Your plan encourage me. Amen.
