Believe in Me! - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
John 14:1

Believe in Me!
The Lord Jesus had made known to His disciples that Judas would betray Him and Peter would deny Him. He had also informed them of His return to heaven. The exposure of the betrayer, the announcement of such a denial, and especially the great loss caused by the departure of their Master, all weighed heavily on the disciples’ minds. The impending events cast dark shadows on their hearts, so that they were grieved and confused.

Understandingly, Jesus Christ addressed their distress: “Let not your heart be troubled”. Who else but the Lord could have uttered such kind words at such a serious moment! They believed in God whom they had never seen. Because Christ was about to return to heaven, this now applied equally to Him: “Believe also in Me”! They would no longer see Him, yet they would still remain united to Him in faith. Thus, as a man in heavenly glory, He became their source of strength and the inner support of their hearts.

These words apply to us as well. When our hearts are shaken by events and experiences, we can look to the Lord Jesus in faith and find real comfort in Him. On earth everything may fail us, the world may tempt us, the failures of believers may trouble us – but Christ in glory remains the never-ending source of our faith.
