John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
What tribulation have we been experiencing in this world?
Pain caused by unceasingly war of adversarial belief where children dies of famine with drought of love and peace.
And the weak who are taken advatage by conceited ones. Illness and barrenness and alot more.
Despite of many tribulation in life, some of us are still not open to the idea that one day, our plight in earth has to end. Our stay on earth will soon to end.
Jesus didn't deserve to leave His throne and live on earth. But He did because of every soul that He must win over eternal suffering. So He bore the pain on the cross that was meant for us. Yes we are still experiencing great suffering but God told us "be of good cheer" because Jesus has overcome the world for our sake.
How did Jesus overcome the world?
Jesus fasted for forty days then tempter came to him and commanded him to turn the stone into bread. But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4:2-4)
Jesus didn't carry out hatred to His trespassers instead, He welcomed them with kind words such as "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28)
Jesus didn't need financial support to heal the sick people. "And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and healed their sick (Matthew 14:14)
Jesus overcame the overwhelming number of people who were hungry while waiting for Him. "And they did all eat and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children" (Matthew 14:20-21)
Jesus remained obedient to God's order.
He won over death and rose from the grave on the third day.
Yes, Jesus himself went through great suffering too. So be of good cheer beautiful soul, God has been with you long before you came out of this world 😊
"Just fight a lil longer my friend
It's all worth it in the end
But when you got nobody to turn to
Just hold on and I'll find you"
