Following His miraculous resurrection and the renewal of their faith, the disciples would face intense persecution for sharing the Gospel, but in the midst of their turmoil they would experience great peace in the Lord.
John 16:33 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.
Our Lord never promised life would be easy, but He promised He wouldn’t put more on us than we could bear.
He offers peace in our moments of weakness, then He says, “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the World.”
The saved by grace are right now victorious in Christ. Believe it. My best friend has overcome the world. That makes me happy.
Jesus defeated sin, Satan, and death as He died on the cross and rose triumphant in life.
Take a moment to consider Romans 8:31-39. We are more than conquerors in Christ and nothing shall separate us from Him or His great love.
If you are struggling or discouraged, look to Jesus. If you don’t know Jesus, run to Him and respond in repentance and faith unto salvation.
