We Have An Assurance From The Lord Jesus

 These words were spoken by the One Who was facing the most acute trouble. He was facing rejection, betrayal, false accusation, an unjust trial, and the weight of the sin of the world on His shoulders. The Cross laid before the Lord Jesus. He knew that in His own darkest hour, the very face of His beloved Father would be turned away, as He was made sin for us.
 Just as the apostles had trusted in God they were now to trust in Jesus, the Word made flesh Who was in the beginning with God, and through Whom ALL things were made. He was not only the Messiah, the Son of the living God, but He was God the Son, the incarnate Word in Whom are the words of eternal life.
 We live in a world that is filled with stresses and strains, and although we are not able to prevent the pressures of life, We Have An Assurance From The Lord Jesus Christ Himself that because HE overcame the world, the flesh, and the devil, we too are overcomers in Him. THIS is the victory that has overcome the world.
So Therefore:  “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, thank You for this wonderful word of comfort. Enable us, in the power of the Spirit, to hold fast to the truth of Your Word. We pray that You would endow us the wisdom, the words, and the grace, to pour forth Your comfort to others who are facing their own difficult trials. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
