Day 24-John 16:33

God's economy is hard to grasp, isn't it? We've spent a lot of time this month investigating the fact that the work that Jesus was prophesied to have done hasn't all been completed yet. And then Jesus says this:


"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."


Jesus has overcome the world. He has already conquered death. Our job is simply to abide in Him, to let Him live through us. And what is our reward if we do this? Trouble. Jesus guarantees it! And that is why it is important for us to trust Him all the more.
