John 16:33 I have told you this so that you might have peace
in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered
the world.
We all find ourselves
in times of trouble every now and again—suffering and distress are simply a
part of life. Still, when times are tough, we can find peace in knowing that
Christ is with us throughout our troubles and is always by our side. We can
draw courage from Jesus who has conquered the world and will never cease to do
so. We must not forget the greatest victory that took place when Christ died on
the cross and then rose on the third day. In conquering the world through this
great sacrifice we were forgiven for our sins and have been offered new life in
Christ Jesus. If Jesus was willing to die for us in such a way, then how can we
not believe that Jesus won’t also be with us during our troubling times? The
Lord is faithful and is with us through every trial we encounter in our lives;
he is always there to offer us the grace and strength we need to overcome our
hardships. So the next time we experience trouble in our lives let us turn to
Jesus, the one who conquered the world, and ask him to feel our hearts with
peace that we may take courage and keep moving forward in our lives knowing
that he will be with us every step of the way.
