John 16:20-22 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          20Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
          21A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.
          22So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
