Trouble will come. And because we’re going to have trouble, Jesus says he wants to give us something so that our hearts are not troubled by the trouble.
John 14 begins and ends with Jesus saying, “I don’t want you to be troubled.” So what is it that Jesus does to give us confidence and strength to face life as it is?
The first thing Jesus gives us to help us deal with the troubles of life is the knowledge of a real home for us. Jesus tells us 1) there’s a real home he’s preparing for us, 2) it’s in heaven, and 3) the road to it is through hell.

We are called to forgive others the same way Christ forgave us. But forgiving others — especially when you’ve truly been wronged — can be one of the hardest things we do in life. This book will show you how forgiving others doesn’t mean sacrificing your need for justice; but rather, forgiveness is a precondition for seeking true justice.
