I Have Told You These Things, So That In me You May Have Peace. In this World You Will Have Trouble. But Take Heart! I Have Overcome The World

JOHN 16:31-33
“Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
”‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭31‬-‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬

We believers can expect our relationship with Christ to produce peace and comfort when we are "in sync" with Him.
At the same time, we should expect continuing tension with an unbelieving world that is "out of sync" with Christ, His Good News, and His people.
Here, Jesus prepares His disciples for His imminent arrest, predicting that they, out of fear, will literally abandon Him. But He assures them that while they will face horrific trials in the world, they can have peace and courage in Him, ultimately promising them and us today the ultimate victory, because He has overcome the world, and His message is a message of the ultimate triumph.
The disciples, out of fear scattered after Jesus was arrested (see MARK 14:50). Yet Jesus accepted their statement of faith even though He knew their weakness's back then and accepts our statement of faith in our weaknesses today.
Jesus summed up all He had told them this night, tying together themes from JOHN 14:27-29, 16:1-4, and 16:8-11.
With these words of verse 33, He told His disciples to take courage. In spite of all the trials and struggles they would inevitably face, for they would not be alone.
Jesus, does not leave us to face our trials and struggles alone, He is always with us.
If we remember that the ultimate victory has already been won, we can claim the peace of Christ throughout the most troublesome and difficult trials, troubles, and challenges that we face.
My brethren, despite the uncertainty surrounding us in this world today, take heart for Jesus Christ has overcome the world and the victory is ours through Christ (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
