About this sermon

Despite the temptations, troubles and trials of this world, we can find hope in what Jesus Christ has done for us. In this 1981 sermon from Houston, Texas, Billy Graham shares why he considers himself an optimist: Jesus reminds us, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
