Fight Of Your Life | Crosstraining 10.16.12

John 16:33 As a huge Ohio State football fan, one of my favorite things to watch is ESPN Classic replays of Ohio State’s national championship game from 2002. Even though I know who won the game, I still get a nervous pit in my stomach as the game comes down to the wire…even though it happened a decade ago. It’s no secret that our world is messed up. It seems like we are reminded of this daily through the news, the internet, and our own personal experience. Jesus acknowledges that life won’t always be easy when he says that “in this world you will have trouble.” So often, we get so caught up in these troubles, that we forget how the story ends. Jesus ends the verse by saying “But take heart! I have overcome the world.” God controls the future, and it turns out pretty good for those who believe in Jesus. We can be encouraged knowing that God wins in the end even as we go through the tough situations in life.]]>
