Bible Commentary

John 16:33

Jesus promises peace located in relationship with him while honestly acknowledging trouble. Courage rests on his victory, not denial, emotional suppression, staying in danger, or pretending harm is acceptable.

Memory phrase: Peace amid trouble

Talk about it: How can peace, trouble, courage, and reporting harm coexist?

Prayer: Jesus, help me receive this teaching with truth, wisdom, and safety.
