"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33 (NIV)
After Jesus told His disciples about His upcoming departure (John 16:16), the Apostle John recorded these word which Jesus spoke to them. Jesus said, I told you this so that you would be at peace and not worry when it happens. The He said to them, in this would you will have trouble, but don't worry because He had overcome the world.
As present day disciples of Jesus, The Christ, we should understand that we will have troubles, trials, and tribulations. (Job 14:1 and John 16:33) However, this should not concern us, because He is with us, and He has assured us that if we believe in Him, will be victorious. He has already conquered the world. (Romans 8:38, Hebrews 13:5, 1 John 4:4) With Him, and only with Him, will we be victorious.
