THESE THINGS

Text : John 16:33. 

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.

There's a reassuring word in our text today from Jesus Christ our master, to you as a person. And the word is PEACE. He said, 'in Him you will have peace'. But before that He opened the statement by saying, "these things I have spoken unto you..."

Jesus is still speaking today. But the question is, are you listening to Him?

What has Jesus spoken to you? And what are you doing with what He has spoken to you?

For every situation you are in, Jesus has a word for you. Today, Jesus is speaking to you through His Holy Spirit and through His words.

He said in John 16:13 that , *Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.* 

To have peace in Christ, you have to pay attention to what Jesus is saying to you through His Holy Spirit that is in you, and through His words.

He said in John  6:63 that It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

This world is full of chaos, pains and imbalances. The only thing that can bring calmness to your boat is the peace that comes only from Jesus. Only the words of Jesus can bring spirit and life to you. Hence, it's important to hear and obey the things Jesus is saying to you.
