Peace through Jesus Christ
Date Posted: May 6, 2022

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.
