00:00What does it say?

00:05Jesus told his disciples that he was leaving but was sending them the Holy Spirit.

00:11Their sorrow would turn to joy and peace because Jesus has overcome the world.

00:16What does it mean?

00:18Jesus continued to prepare the disciples for his departure.

00:22Even though he wouldn't physically be with them in the difficult days ahead,

00:26Jesus was sending a helper who would be with them always.

00:30The grief, confusion, and panic they would feel at his crucifixion

00:34would be transformed into a cause for joy at his resurrection.

00:39Though they wouldn't fully understand it at the time,

00:42his sacrifice on the cross completely defeated sin and death,

00:46overcoming anything the world could throw at them.

00:49Through the presence of the Holy Spirit,

00:51they would experience peace in a troubled and hostile world.

00:55How should I respond?

00:57When was the last time you said,

00:59I'm fine under the circumstances?

01:02Well, what in the world are you doing under there when you can live as an overcomer?

01:08The Lord is able to transform your sorrows into joy as you experience his presence

01:13and peace through the Holy Spirit.

01:16Have you asked God to remove some kind of sorrow?

01:19It seldom works that way.

01:21Just as labor pains become a reason for joy because they bring a baby into a family,

01:26trouble and heartache give birth to stronger faith and character in the life of an overcomer.

01:32Be aware of the presence of Jesus in the midst of today's trouble.
