Overcome The World
“Christ’s peace is the peace that transcends every intellect, and which God gives to those who love Him with all their soul, because of the dangers and battles they have been through. In the same spirit the Lord also said, ‘In Me you have peace,’ and added, “In the world you will experience affliction; but have courage, for I have overcome the world’ (John 16:33). By this He meant that though a person may experience many afflictions and dangers at the hands of demons and other men, these will be as nothing if he possesses the Lord’s peace.”
Saint Peter of Damascus
