“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Do you ever feel like the world is a runaway train heading off the rails? Sometimes it feels like an impending disaster that keeps getting worse. In a sense, this is true in a fallen world–there is so much evil and chaos around us. But Jesus refuses to leave us to our hopelessness.

John 16:33 says, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

That you may have peace–that is his desire for His people. The world of his day wasn’t less chaotic or evil than our present world. They had dictators, divisions, cultic worship, wars, natural disasters, manipulators, abusers, and liars. To follow Jesus was crazy and dangerous, yet He offered peace. How?

Because Jesus overcame the world. His life, death, and resurrection were the kill shots of evil, sin, chaos, and death itself. And they were the promise and proof that He would return to make all things new one day. 

So today, we can have the peace of Jesus Christ in the midst of this world’s trouble because He has won and will win. All who believe in Him are assured of eternal peace.
