JESUS PROMISES YOU VICTORY AND PEACE

«These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”» John 16: 33

In a world full of challenges and difficult times, we can sometimes feel alone or worried about what lies ahead. But Jesus has a very special message for us in John 16:33, which brings comfort, hope and makes our hearts “warmer” to face the challenges of this day. He said: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Jesus overcame every possible challenge He faced, and He promises to be with us, giving us the strength to face each day. Knowing this, we can look at obstacles in a different way, with confidence and courage, rather than fear or discouragement. Courage is much more than simply not being afraid; it is facing fears and challenges knowing that we can overcome them, even when we feel afraid or uncertain. When Jesus promises us His presence and victory, He is offering us the basis for this courage: the certainty that we don't face life alone and that, with Him by our side, we can overcome any obstacle. And what is the result? Victory and peace!

Take Action

Create notes with messages of courage, inspired by today's verse, and hand them out to friends and neighbors who seem to need a boost. This is a simple but powerful way to share the strength that comes from trusting in Jesus and to help others feel encouraged to face their own challenges.
