Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.”
“You believe at last!” Jesus answered. “But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
“I have told you these things,
so that
in me
you may have peace.
In this world
you will have trouble.
But
take heart!
I have overcome the world.”
Take heart my friends, He has overcome.
Let us not be surprised by the trouble he said we would have
but instead let us look full well at Him-
for He has overcome!
Have a blessed Sunday!
Enthusiastically, Dawn

Visiting from Wendy's link up. John 16:33 is one of my favorite verses too. Each day certainly has enough trouble of its own. Praise God that He has overcome, so that we can too!

Wonderful words of encouragement and hope when we feel overwhelmed by life's circumstances. Yes, indeed, “Take heart”…Jesus has overcome the world, and through Him, we also are overcomers. Amen!

If He had not overcome the world, we would be nowhere with any blessings from our dear Lord. Our world is very overcoming and overgrown in sin — I'm so blessed to be freed by Him.
