“Jesus Knew Ahead of Time”
📖 “But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.”
—John 16:4a (NKJV)
Have you ever been surprised by something hard?
Maybe a friend said something unkind.
Maybe a plan didn’t work out.
Maybe someone didn’t believe you when you were telling the truth.
Jesus told His friends that hard times would come—but He didn’t tell them to scare them.
He told them so they wouldn’t be shocked.
He wanted them to remember:
“I already knew this was coming—and I’m still with you.”
That’s the kind of friend Jesus is.
Think About It:
- What’s something hard you’ve gone through lately?
- How does it help knowing Jesus isn’t surprised by anything?
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for telling the truth, even when it’s hard. I’m glad You already know everything that will happen. Help me trust You when things don’t go my way. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
