“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 16:33
The question that you should be asking yourself while reading this verse is: How can I have peace while facing troubles? And the answer is really very simple. It may seem the more trials you face, the more chaotic and confused your life will be. But Jesus offers a gift of peace that comes only through faith in him. Jesus’ peace is greater than the temporary problems and turmoil we experience in this world.
So, regardless of how the world beats you down, you have reason to live with bold faith because Jesus is the sovereign King over world. He has defeated sin, Satan, and death. If you are a believer, your eternity is secure. And Jesus has the power to overrule your earthly circumstances. Knowing this truth and maintaining an intimate relationship with the Lord will radically change your perspective as you face whatever obstacles come your way.
