BE FULL OF CHEER!
John 16:33b – Devotional
John 16:33b
“In the world you will experience tribulation; but be full of cheer, for I have overcome the world!”
I have thrilled as I have listened to the Gaither’s sing their song, “Because He Lives.” This has been especially true during the times when I stood at the graveside of those who have been the dearest to me.
For the believer, when we say farewell to our believing loved ones, it is not an “eternal good bye,” it is more appropriately a, “until we live eternally in glory, you will live fondly in the storehouse of my memories.”
For the true believers in the Living Lord Jesus, we have a glorious reunion waiting for us in Glory. The precious experience of seeing our loved ones again will only be surpassed by seeing our Lord and Savior who gave Himself for us!
We need to reflect the cheer of being the redeemed of the Lord. Jesus has given us the precious gift of eternal life. For the believer, physical death is a farewell to this sin-sick world and hello to an eternity full of cheer!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
