John 16:33

I have told you these things so that in me you have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage- I have conquered the world.”

John 16:33

What this quote from the bible means to me is that through Christ we can find peace. It’s not saying that we won’t have hard times ever. In fact, it says that we will have trouble and suffering. I think that if we didn’t have trouble or suffering than would we even know what peace was? This verse is telling us to not be afraid and take courage, be strong.  When he says “I have conquered the world” I think it means that anything is possible he had overcome everything we would ever be put through.

When I go through hard times I look at this verse and it gives me encouragement that everything will be ok, because he has conquered the world and that later I will have peace after my troubles and suffering.
