Promises

A Promise of Victory

"In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
John 16:33

Reflection

Jesus was honest: there will be difficulty. And He went further: He has already won. Both are true at the same time.

Prayer

Jesus, thank You that You have already overcome. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Did Jesus say life would have no difficulties?
  2. What does it mean that Jesus has overcome the world?
  3. What difficulty are you facing right now?

5-minute activity
