“Be brave, for I have conquered the world.“
John 16:29-33
Jesus knows his disciples well. He knows and believes that they truly do love him. Jesus has no doubt about that. However, he also understands that they are human and when the threat becomes serious and possibly lethal, they will flee. The gift for Jesus is that, despite all that will happen, Jesus is at peace. Jesus has the Father, and he deeply trusts and knows that His Father will never leave him. Do we believe that God our Father will never leave us?
In the midst of turmoil, do we have some peace and assurance that we will come through this situation, believing that God is with us? If we are able to trust in God’s presence with us, this belief will strengthen us and thus enable us to know and understand that we are never alone. We may encounter trouble in this world, but in Jesus, we will find real peace. Jesus wants us to have this gift of peace, which is indescribable and invaluable. If we truly desire peace, Jesus will gift us with this special grace. Will you always ask Jesus for this gift of peace?
