Spurgeon on Cheer

"These Things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world, ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" John 16:33

"The believer is in two places, and he lives two lives. In the text are two places spoke of, 'in me' and 'in the world.' The siants noblest life is 'hid with Christ in God'; this is his new life, his spiritual life, his incorruptible life, his everlasting life. Rejoice beloved, if you are in Christ, and enjoy the privilege which belongs to that condition: 'that in me ye might have peace'. Do not be satisfied without it; it is your right through your relationship to the Prince of peace. Because you are in Christ, your life of lives is always safe, and should always be restful. Your greatest interests are all secure, for they are guarenteed by the covenant of which Jesus is the Surety. Your treasure, your eternal portion, is laid up with him in Heaven where rust nor robber can enter. Therefore, be of good cheer." Charles Haddon Spurgeon
