Jesus concluded his final discourse with his disciples before his death in John 16:12-33. He developed previous lessons and added that they would have temporary sorrow that would change into lasting joy. In spite of our suffering in this world, Christians can have joy, peace, and courage, because Jesus has overcome the world.
Although Christians will grieve the loss of loved ones, we have two solid reasons for hope.
Salvation is not a matter of racial identity or religious privilege but of true righteousness, which comes through the gospel.
Although the first anointed king tried to kill the second one, the Lord protected his anointed, as he always does.
