Summary

My favorite Bible verse is John 16:33.It’s Thursday evening. Jesus has gathered the disciples in the Upper Room for his final moments with them before his betrayal by Judas later that night and his crucifixion the next day.He sums up his teaching to them with what I believe is essentially the perfect Bible verse:“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have *overcome* the world.”In other words:1. Things will be hard.2. But don’t worry, Jesus wins.And maybe my favorite part of this verse: the Greek verb translated in v. 33 as “overcome” is the verb nike, from which the shoe company got its name. Every time you see a pair of Nikes, therefore, you should remember this verse!

Episode Description

My favorite Bible verse is John 16:33.

It’s Thursday evening. Jesus has gathered the disciples in the Upper Room for his final moments with them before his betrayal by Judas later that night and his crucifixion the next day.

He sums up his teaching to them with what I believe is essentially the perfect Bible verse:

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have *overcome* the world.”

In other words:

1. Things will be hard.

2. But don’t worry, Jesus wins.

And maybe my favorite part of this verse: the Greek verb translated in v. 33 as “overcome” is the verb nike, from which the shoe company got its name. Every time you see a pair of Nikes, therefore, you should remember this verse!

From the author’s preface, “It was not my purpose, in the preparation of this little volume, to make it an autobiography, but rather a narration of incidents connected with the twenty years of humble service which I tried to render the United Brethren Church among the mountains of West Virginia. These incidents present an all-round view, in outline, of the real life and labors of the itinerant preacher, a third of a century ago, in an isolated section, where the most simple and primitive customs prevailed.” Asbury UMC mrawle2000 Podcast by mrawle2000 My Community's Health Starts With Me My Community's Health Starts With Me This is a podcast dedicated to engaging and educating the community about topics surrounding community health and sexual health care.
