Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:31-33 ESV)
Take heart! Other translations say "Take or have Courage!" The future is unknown to us. But we do know who holds the future. It is Christ. By listening to Him, learning from Him and trusting Him, we can face the future, both in this life and the life to come. We can live life courageously. Will we?
