Faith instead of Fear

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

It occurred to me today that Jesus did not say, “I have overcome the world. Nevertheless, in this world you will have tribulation.“ He put it the other way ‘round: “In this world you will have tribulation. Nevertheless, take heart. I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). 

Hope not fear is the last word.
