a reason to look up and have courage

I love the Greek word THARSEO because of the times it's used in the New Testament, it's always associated with the work of Jesus.  In John 16:33 Jesus Himself uses this word when He says 

John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”
The conquest and victory of Christ makes it possible for us to LOOK UP!  Praise God!
