In John Chapter 16 Jesus makes a statement. Jesus says, "In the world you shall have tribulation." In this present world, trouble, problems, trials, frustration, anxiety, worry, fear, terror, sorrow, and death will be a reality.
To those who follow him, he further states, " Be of good cheer!" Whaaaat?
With everything I am facing right now, you want me to be of good cheer? You out of your mind? How, oh, tell me how, can I be of good cheer? Jesus explains. "I have told you these things, so that in me you might have peace"
