439th Post Jesus Predictions Of Persecutions made to His Foolowers Con't. John 16: 32 - 33.

John 16:31 - 32.
Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
This was spoken by Jesus the night of His betrayal, in the upper room. Jesus warns His disciples that in a matter of hours, they will run and leave Jesus defenseless when the mob made up of Jews and Romans come to Gethsemane to take Jesus. Notice Jesus says that He will not be alone, His Father will be with Me. The Father never leaves Jesus, and as The Father never left, Jesus will never leave us. Jesus told the disciples ahead of time, so they could reflect on all that was said and done and believe. It took them sometime to come to understanding all that happened this night and the following days. When they came to this understanding they did have the peace Jesus had told them about. Jesus tells them that they will have tribulation as long as they deal with the world. Don't lose heart, for I (Jesus) have overcome the world. This promise is still good and applies to us today. Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah. Do you believe this?
