Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
– John 16:20-21

Have a nice day! 🙂

This passage from the Book of John in the Bible carries a profound message about transformation and hope. Jesus is speaking to His disciples, preparing them for the sorrow and suffering they will experience after His crucifixion. However, He assures them that their grief will turn into joy when He rises again and they witness His resurrection. The analogy of a woman in labor emphasizes that intense pain can lead to profound joy and new beginnings.

In other words, while there are times of deep sorrow and anguish, they can lead to moments of great happiness and fulfillment. This message serves as a reminder that difficult times are temporary and can pave the way for joy and renewal.
