John 16 – The Listening Plan

Devotional

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

– John 16:33

Yesterday we read “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” Now Jesus says, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.” Peace and Joy, are those not two distinct things that every human being would love to secure? The aim of our Lord is to bring us into the experience of both, in full! This is what the Gospel brings. That’s why it is “good news.”
