John 16:33, “Jesus said, “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.”

In a world where war rages and evil runs rampant, God gives us His gift of peace and promise that He has already overcome this world. His good defeats evil. His light defeats darkness. His harmony defeats discourse. His love defeats heartache. His healing defeats sickness. 

Jesus told His disciples to “be courageous” in spite of the troubles they would face. Take heart! Stand firm in the truth and faithfulness of God’s promises. Have courage in this world to live out your faith. The ultimate battle has already been won by the work of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection. When you face trials and sorrow today, be encourage that Jesus is with you and has already fought your battle. Keep your faith that God will keep His promises and one day right all of the wrongs!
