In the World Ye Shall Have Tribulation
(John 16:33)

​Introduction:

         1. In John 14-16 Jesus spoke to the apostles to comfort their troubled hearts.
         2. He concluded in 16:33 by informing the apostles that they would have tribulation in the world.
         3. He also said that peace can be found in Him and that His followers can "be of good cheer."
         4. This morning we studied Psalm 46, a helpful Psalm for troubling times.
         5. This evening we are studying a number of passages that supply helpful information that relates
             to tribulation.

Discussion:

I.            CHRISTIANS  ARE  NOT  IMMUNE  TO  TRIBULATION

         A. The reality of tribulation in Christianity is touched on in Acts 14:19-22.
         B. The Lord's church has faced tribulation for many years (Revelation 2:8-11).
         C. Christians must face tribulation properly because it can have an adverse effect, as illustrated
              by the stony soil (Matthew 13:20-21).

II.           IN  CHRISTIANITY,  TRIBULATION  IS  CONNECTED  WITH  PATIENCE

         A. In Romans 12:12 Christians are instructed to be "patient in tribulation" [to accomplish this we
              must "rejoice in hope" and "continue instant in prayer"].
         B. According to Romans 5:3-4, tribulation produces patience that leads to experience and hope
              (see James 1:3-6a).

III.           SPECIAL  BLESSINGS  ARE  AVAILABLE  DURING  TRIBULATION

         A. God provides comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
         B. Tribulation cannot separate the Lord's people from His love (Romans 8:35-39).

Conclusion:

         1. In John 14-16 Jesus spoke to the apostles to comfort their troubled hearts.
         2. We began our lesson by reading the Lord's final statements in John 16:33.
         3. Let us conclude by reading the Lord's statements in John 14:1-4.
