What jesus actually said

Many think Jesus only spoke about things concerning theology.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Jesus walked the desert roads of Galilee with 12 and others who were hard workers.  When He spoke the beatitudes, it was about relationships with others.  On one day, Jesus said this to His disciples:

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.”

Jesus did not promise that things would go easy.  Difficulties are certain.  As real and poignant as that truth is, He spoke another with even deeper meaning.
Look Up!  Be of Good Cheer!  "I have overcome the world" -Jesus.

No matter the difficulty, that one fact remains.  Jesus has conquered the world!  Praise God!
