“In Me you have peace.”

JOH 16:23-33

This covers the history of Christ from eternity past to His ascension and session.

The Father sent His Son into the world with a mission to save the world.

And soon He will leave the world and go back to the Father.

Forty days later, He will ascend into heaven and be seated at His Father’s right hand.

He will inaugurate the age of the indwelling Spirit -the church age.
