Peace In The Son In Spite Of Persecutions

PEACE IN THE SON IN SPITE OF PERSECUTIONS

At that time, the Lord made clear to the dis ciples that He had come out from God the Father, and they believed it (John 16:27, 28, 30). God the Father was His source, and He came out from that source into the world to declare and reveal God to man so that man might know the Father and get into that source.

After He finished His commission on earth, the Lord went back through death and resurrec tion to the Father, the source from which He came, that He might prepare the way and the standing for man to be brought into the Father (John 16:28).

At that time, the Lord also promised to de clare the Father to His disciples (John 16:25). This was fulfilled by His coming back to His disciples after His resurrection, at which time He declared the Father's name to His brothers (Heb. 2:12), making them know the Father's life and nature. In resurrection as the Firstborn Son of God, the Lord makes us, the many sons of God, His brothers, know the Father in the way of life, in the way of partaking of His divine na ture (2 Pet. 1:3-4).

In John 16:33 the Lord then told His disci ples, "These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but be of good courage, I have over come the world." Although the Lord died and has been resurrected, we remain in the world where there is no peace. In this world we shall only have trouble. But the Lord Himself will be our peace, and we can have peace in Him. No matter how much this world troubles and per secutes us, the Lord has overcome the world. We do not need to worry, nor fear the world. Let the world persecute and trouble us. The Lord is our peace. He has overcome the world.
