29 Then his disciples said to him,
“Now you are speaking plainly, without using figures of speech.
30 We know now that you know
everything; you do not need to have someone ask you questions. This makes us
believe that you came from God.”
31 Jesus answered them, “Do you
believe now?
32 The time is coming, and is
already here, when all of you will be scattered, each of you to your own home,
and I will be left all alone. But I am not really alone, because the Father is
with me.
33 I have told you this so that you
will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be
brave! I have defeated the world!”
Reflection:
“The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have
defeated the world!”
Jesus Christ warns us that the world is full of many challenges.
Challenges that will make us feeling down, depressed and lose heart. But always
remember that everything that happens in our life is part of God’s plan. Every problem
is a test of our faith. How long are we going to be patient? How deep is our
perseverance to solve the problem? We learn new things every time we encounter problem
and that is the gift of wisdom. Wisdom comes from experiences.
God wants
us to be strong and brave enough to face the challenges because God has already
defeated the world. He wants us to surpass the challenges by obeying His will. Face
it all with confidence, because God is always with us. With the power of His
name, nothing can put us down.
