Finding Courage in the One Who Conquered the World!

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.
