The Roman guards are coming to arrest Jesus, and the disciples are about to face turmoil. As The Lord is lead away for trial, the disciples scatter like scared rabbits into the night. He said they would.
John 16:32-33 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world
Following His death, burial, and miraculous resurrection, faith of the disciples is renewed. Jesus gives them peace during intense persecution for sharing the Gospel and tells them to “be of good cheer” because He has overcome the world.
Trials and difficulties appear in various forms, but we can be assured that the Lord will never leave us or forsake us when we trust Him. Jesus has overcome the world and He will make us overcomers when we believe.
