Take Heart - Do not worry, He has overcome the world!

As disciples of Jesus living in the 21st century, we constantly need to remind ourselves that we are living in a fallen world. We will have troubles around us. Following Jesus won’t always be easy, and the fruits we bear will be challenged at every step. However, the assurance we have is that ‘Jesus has already overcome the world.’ This promise needs to be etched into our hearts. With this as our confidence, when troubles come our way, we understand that only through Him will we overcome them and experience lasting joy. Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection to life proves that His authority trampled the power of the enemy once and for all (Luke 10:19).

Following Jesus comes at a price, and during the tough times our faith is severely tested. As a disciple of Christ though, we should learn to let go of the worry that this world brings and hand it over to Jesus who gives us peace beyond understanding. Let us take heart knowing He has overcome.
