"Jesus declared his victory in the middle of his trouble." — Vera Schmitz, Dwell Differently
On today's episode: Vera and Natalie talk about the significance of the timing of Jesus's declaration that he has (already) overcome the world. Because he declares victory even before his death and resurrection, we can have peace in our own unresolved troubles knowing that his victory is sure. Want to read more about the peace on offer from Jesus? Check out chapter 12 of Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God's Truth.
Today's verse: "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
