Christ instructs the disciples that there will come a time that they will grieve, but that in a short time, their griefs will turn to joy. Just as a mother give birth, there is a moment of pain, but the blessing of joy that follows makes her forget the pain. While we have a lot of difficulties in our lives, keep your eyes on Christ and stay in His presence, and while their may be moments of pain, they will be forgotten because of the joy He promises.
John 16:16-32
