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 (NIV)
Some days, I wonder what in the world is happening to our world.
Turn on the television, scroll through social media, or read the headlines, and
there's no shortage of things to worry about. Conflict, anger, division,
uncertainty. Sometimes it feels like the bad news just keeps coming.
It's enough to make anyone weary. But Jesus gives us a beautiful reminder: Take heart!
Notice He doesn't say life will be easy. In fact, He tells us quite plainly that we WILL have trouble. That's not exactly the comforting part of the verse, is it? The comfort comes in what He says next.
“I have overcome the world.”
We may not be able to change everything happening around us, but we can choose where we place our hope. Not in politicians, headlines, or circumstances, but in the One who has already overcome it all.
The world may be uncertain, but God isn't.
