The Last Word

"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."  John 16:33

"In this world you will have trouble!"  Not something we really want to hear, but it's inextricably part of the Gospel.  Where there is light, darkness seeks conflict.  Jesus doesn't say He will solve all our problems.  On the contrary, we're going to gain a few problems!  But the peace of Jesus doesn't come from the disappearance of problems -- it comes in the midst of problems.

Our peace is born from the fact that Jesus conquered the grave and is the Righteous Judge of the nations.  This is so even if the world pushes you around and even kills you.  We are victorious with Jesus.  We will have the last word with Him.

​Lord Jesus, please open my eyes to see You.  Don't let my circumstances and troubles let me lose sight of You.  Help me to be anchored in Your peace.  Amen.
