In these troubled times, John 16:33 offers a profound message: though we will face challenges, Jesus has overcome the world. This reflection delves into the cost of our deliverance and the universal longing for peace. Modern-day troubles, from global conflicts to personal hardships, often leave us anxious and questioning. Historical events and personal watershed moments further highlight our need for security. The story of Lot's wife serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of looking back and clinging to the past. True peace and prosperity come from a life centered on Jesus. The call to follow Jesus is exemplified in Peter's redemption, urging us to offer our whole heart to Him. Embrace the peace Jesus offers, let go of temporary sources of security, and be a light to those around you.
