Overcoming the World / David Jeremiah

Overcoming the World Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 Whenever someone goes through a disabling physical incident, physical therapy is often required. A doctor or physical therapist might say, “This event in your life is going to take two years to resolve. But at the end of your physical therapy, you will have a healthy and fruitful life.”

Recommended Reading: Matthew 24: 4 – 14

We can face changes in life, even chaos, if we have confidence and instruction on how to make it through. When Jesus prepared to leave earth and return to the Father, He told His disciples, “In the world you will have tribulation.” That sounds daunting and discouraging; how would they survive the future? But Jesus didn’t end there. He also said, “But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). In other words, the future will be challenging, but I am telling you ahead of time so that you will persevere. Nothing can separate you from My love (Romans 8:31-39). We live in life-changing times which will likely become even more challenging (Matthew 24:4-14). Thank God today that Christ has overcome the world. If you don’t surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos. E. Stanley Jones
