“I have told you these things so that you won’t abandon your faith.” v.16:1
Jesus knows his time on earth is coming to an end. These are some of his last words to prepare his disciples for what is coming. He does this so they won’t abandon the faith!
This is an important statement for us today also. Being a Christ Follower doesn’t mean you will have an easy life. From people to pleasures, each of us have our own challenges. The important thing to remember is that we have an Advocate, in the Holy Spirit, and He will give us the strength we need to remain faithful to Jesus>
Have you run into some challenges? Talk to God and ask Him for help, don’t give up and know, that God cares for you and you are not alone!
