33 “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)
Christ came into the world on a mission - to be the Savior we all need. While He walked on earth He saw things with a totally unique perspective - as God and man. He saw the works of the evil ruler of this world, as His Holiness both attracted and repelled them. He saw the struggles of people as poor lost sheep needing a shepherd. He did something about it. He defeated sin and Satan, and provided His peace to see us through the struggles. He could see His ultimate victory on the cross, over the grave, and at the end of time. In Him, we can have peace, just as the angels said when He came. He would tell you today: "Peace, be still!" He's got this.
