Bible Text: John 16:16-33 | Teacher: Pastor Brian Nevins | Series: Chronological Life of Jesus | Chronological Life of Jesus – 142 – Jesus never shied away from the reality of life. As He faced betrayal, beating, mockery and eventual crucifixion within hours He spoke of the offering of peace, the promise of tribulation and the opportunity to join Him in overcoming the world. Quite a promise in a life of struggle.
