I (Jesus) have told you all this so
that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and
sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
Only Jesus can say this and mean
it. In Him we can have faith that, at
the moment He spoke these words, He briefly looked at the entire universe that
He made and saw all the “trials and sorrows” it can produce and calmly said, “Be
of good cheer, I have overcome” the entire universe. He has the power to stand between you and the
total cosmos and all that occurs there.
That defines “peace”.

writings of E. Stanley Jones.
