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.
The lifestyle of citizens of the kingdom of God includes unity, joy, and humility.
In order to be strong in the Lord’s strength, Christians need to put on the whole armor of God.
With parables and warnings, Jesus told everyone in his day and ours to be ready for the coming of the Son of Man.
