Jesus prepared his disciples to face into an unprecedented season of trial by speaking these encouraging words, even as his own death loomed very near:“I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation.But take heart,I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, ESV).

Come away, beloved daughters of the Father, and hear Jesus speak these words to you who are also his disciples: “Take heart!”
