Peace in Christ When Suffering Continues

By Dave JenkinsEquipping You in Grace · Contentment in a Restless World
Jesus promised his disciples peace on the night before his crucifixion, as he prepared them for sorrow and opposition. In John 16:33, he tells them to take heart because he has overcome the world. Those words give believers a reason to trust him when the hardship they have prayed about continues.In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins brings Jesus’ promise together with Romans 8:31–39. Through faith in Christ we have peace with God. The risen Savior intercedes for us, and nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in him.
