Life is hard, and turmoil and strife are guaranteed. The good news, though, is that Jesus overcame the world, with all of its pain and trouble—and through His victory, Alistair Begg reminds us, we can have victory too. We can have the clarity that God’s Spirit brings and the immediate access to the Father that Jesus’ resurrection has gained for us. We can remember what Jesus accomplished and have peace in the darkest times, because we know the darkness won’t last.
25“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.1 28I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! 30Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.” 31Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
