"I Have Overcome The World" (John 16:33): Part Four.

"I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
Whatever is happening in our world, we can still be of good cheer because we know that God is still the God of our salvation. We can face the future with the joy of the Lord because we know that Jesus is with us still. We don't know what may yet lie ahead of us - "In the world you have tribulation", but we do know this: the risen, living Lord, Jesus Christ who is "the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8) still says to us, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." We may have to face difficult times. We will not have to face them alone. We will face them with Jesus. Whatever difficulties may come our way, let us draw strength from the words of Christ, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
