You May Have Peace

It is probably a God-send that we can't see the future because we might very well want to throw the towel in now. Yes there are probably wonderful things ahead for all of us but you can be sure that there are some troubles ahead too. Just the anticipation of those trials and struggles would cripple us. Jesus knew the future though. He told His followers that tough times were just around the corner for them, but He also told them that those troubles wouldn't last and that the joys afterwards would be worth it. Jesus defeated evil and sin which are the source of all our troubles and when you put your trust in Him, you can defeat it too. He is the true source of Peace. "I've told you this so that my peace will be with you. In the world you’ll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
