John 14:18-20 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
[19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
[20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Jesus promised the Disciples that when He went to the Father, He would ask the Father to send the “Comforter, the Holy Spirit.
Believers have the same assurance today?
Our world is in turmoil; there is uncertainty all around. Yet, through it all, the saints of God are possessed of a peace that defies all description.
Our response in times of trouble is to lean on the peace of Jesus and trust Him to take care of His own - Phil. 4:6-7; Isa. 26:3.
I‘m glad that when I don’t understand what is going to happen; when it seems that everything is falling apart; when I don't know which way to turn, I can count on the Lord Jesus Christ!
We don’t know what 2021 will bring, but because Jesus lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He Lives
__________________
God sent His son, they called Him Jesus. — He came to love, heal, and forgive. — He lived and died to buy my pardon, — An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
CHORUS:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. — Because He lives, All fear is gone. — Because I know He holds the future, — And life is worth the living just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby, — And feel the pride and joy he gives. — But greater still the calm assurance, — This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
And then one day I'll cross the river, — I'll fight life's final war with pain. —And then as death gives way to victory, — I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.
