The medical profession commonly reports that a majority of the sickness that s treated is emotional. There are many troubled hearts, hearts that are griped by fear.
Man is of few days and many troubles.
There is no escaping trouble. Often I tell my congregation that they are either in trouble, just getting out of trouble, or about to get back into trouble. The disciples are troubled after having three bombshells drop on them. The third bombshell was the news that one of their own would deny the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus immediately saw them in their troubled state and begins to offer what we may call arguments against a troubled heart of God s solution for troubled hearts.
