Bigger Than My Trouble

Jesus promised us trouble. In John 16:33, He said, “In this world you will have trouble.”

This can feel a bit discouraging. Why would we have so much trouble in the world?

The word comes from the Greek word for pressure or burdened. Does this ring true for you? We all have our own trouble. The thing is, none of us escape.

But the beautiful thing is that Jesus said these words right before He went to the cross, where He took the trouble of the world on Himself so that one day, you and I and the entire world would be free of trouble. We know how the story ends.

Jesus says, “In this world, you will have trouble but take heart. I have overcome the world.” He is bigger than the trouble of the world, and he is bigger than your trouble.
