Sermon: 3/22/26- Thursday's Devotional

Jesus Has Overcome the World
Reading: John 16:25-33

"In this world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world." Jesus didn't promise to eliminate suffering; He promised to be victorious over it. When Christ says He has overcome the world, He means He has conquered sin, death, and the powers of darkness. The way things work now no longer has the final say. Your suffering is real, but it's not forever. Even if it lasts your entire earthly life, that's not eternity. This is where true hope resides—not in the possibility of changed circumstances, but in the certainty of a victorious Savior. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is available to you in your darkest valley.

Reflection Question: How does knowing that Jesus has already won the ultimate victory change how you face today's struggles?
