Be of Good Cheer! by Brett Meador

As the Apostle Paul sits in a Jerusalem jail, waiting to see how the plot against him will unfold, he is visited by the Lord, who, in Acts 23:11-13, tells him to "be of good cheer." This isn't the first time we have seen Jesus offering these words of encouragement, and they still apply to us today. As we look at the reasons we can also be of good cheer, we find fantastic encouragement to face any trials or trouble that may come our way.
