trouble

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."

From the unexpected flat tire to the rain storm or the things that slow us down----to hurt and pain and suffering....

God has spoken--- IN THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE

Can anyone, anywhere in this world disagree with that statement?

Who does not have trouble at one time or another?

WHO?!

No one....that's who! Everyone has problems somewhere along the way...everyone

Jesus starts the verse telling us that "He has told us these things so that we may have peace"

That is where we find peace....real peace.

Peace that passes all understanding.

Jesus says something real simple next....BUT TAKE HEART.

TAKE HEART

TAKE HEART

He has overcome the world.

find that peace

search for it

seek it

dwell in it

John 16
