"Do You Now Believe?"

“Do You Now Believe?”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

John 16:29-33
pastedGraphic
The disciples are beginning to understand...yet, not really.

They see that Jesus is speaking plainly.
They understand that He knows all things.
They know that there is no need to question Him.

They profess to believe that He came from God.

Jesus was letting them know that though they believe, they would soon abandon Him.

He would not be alone.
Father is with Him.

Jesus told them these things that they might have peace.
Even afterwards when they realized what had occurred, they would have peace.

They were to remember that tribulation would come in this world.
They were to take courage because Jesus has overcome the world.

We are to likewise remember and take courage in the Lord.

Fear not.
It is gonna get worse...
