This was a radical call to trust in Jesus just as one would trust in God the Father, and a radical promise that doing so would bring comfort and peace to a troubled heart. You believe in God, believe also in Me: Instead of giving into a troubled heart, Jesus told them to firmly put their trust in God and in Jesus Himself. And it was then that He consoled them with such simple and glorious speech that all Christendom is the debtor to their agony.” (Morrison)ī.

“His disciples felt His departure like a torture. When he saw that because of what he had said to them sorrow had filled the hearts of his apostles, he pleaded with them in great love, and besought them to be comforted.” (Spurgeon) You’re doubts are wonderful.” “He takes no delight in the doubt and disquietude of his people. Jesus didn’t say, “I’m happy you men are troubled and filled with doubts. “The form of the imperative me tarassestho implies that they should ‘stop being troubled.’ ‘Set your heart at ease’ would be a good translation.” (Tenney) Jesus never wanted us to have life without trouble, but He promised that we could have an untroubled heart even in a troubled life. All of this would legitimately trouble the disciples, yet Jesus told them, let not your heart be troubled. Jesus had just told them that one of them was a traitor, that all of them would deny Him, and that He would leave them that night.

Let not your heart be troubled: The disciples had reason to be troubled. “Let not your heart be troubled you believe in God, believe also in Me.”Ī. (1) A command to calm the troubled heart. Calming troubled hearts with trust and hope in Jesus.
