"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." - John 16:33

Does the world give you trouble? Does Jesus give you peace? We are like foreigners in a strange land that is not our home. Jesus returned to the Father because this world was his mission field, not his home. Let us too not get so comfortable that we would rather stay.
