(Lesson 4568)(08-06-24) John 16:29-33
“His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Today’s quote describes a conversation between Jesus and His disciples. The disciples acknowledged that Jesus was speaking plainly and that they then understood what He was telling them. They expressed their belief that He knows all things and that He came from God. Jesus responded by questioning their belief and foretelling that they will be scattered from Him, but reassures them that He is not truly alone because the Father would always be with Him. He concluded by telling them that they would have peace through Him, even though they would face tribulations in the world, because He had overcome the world. ~
