I have told you these things so that you will be whole and at peace. In this world, you will be plagued with times of trouble, but you need not fear; I have triumphed over this corrupt world order.
Dear Ones: I Have Triumphed! John recorded the Master’s words to them as they walked to the Garden of Gethsemane. He knew what was about to occur. So, He was telling them to receive His peace. His peace would carry them through the trauma.
Today, He is telling us the same thing, “I have triumphed over this corrupt world order.” His victory is eternally assured to all who believe and trust in Him. In John 15 He likens the believer to a branch that is vitally attached to the vine. We are to be so vitally attached to Him, that we draw our strength and peace from His victory. Romans 8:37, NKJV, confirms, “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
Our Response: Believe His words, “I have triumphed over this corrupt world order.” Sow them deeply into the soil of your heart. When troubles arise, and they will, remember, you are more than a conqueror. As a spiritual branch, you partake of the life, peace, and strength of our spiritual vine, Christ our Vine. Praise the Lord! Have a blessed and triumphant day in Jesus’ name.
