‘I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more.But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority* to cast into hell.* Yes, I tell you, fear him! Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight.But even the hairs of your head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows. ‘And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God;but whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how* you are to defend yourselves or what you are to say;for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what you ought to say. (Luke 12:4-12 NRSV)
“The only thing we have to fear is, fear itself!” Wonderful words spoken by Martin Luther King Jr. We do not have to fear anything because we have God on our side.
Why should we fear anyone or anything on this earth? Even the powers of darkness can do nothing but kill your body. Jesus has conquered death and you will see a resurrection like His so why should you fear death of your mortal body? Fear has no place in our lives. We need to boldly go and proclaim the name of Jesus everywhere we go.
And do not fear what you are to say, because when you need words the Holy Spirit will give them to you! So have no fear and boldly go into the world and proclaim the love you have been given, the love that is there for everyone to partake of!
