Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year Oneনমুনা
Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen (Matthew 28:5-6).
How do you calm the fears of others?
A few loyal women followed Jesus while He lived, watched Him be crucified, and now go to the tomb expecting to find His body. Their natural fears are calmed by a supernatural response from an angel: “Do not be afraid” (Matthew 28:5). He then proceeds to calm them through the life of Jesus. In essence, the angel could be paraphrased: “Stop being alarmed, because Jesus is alive.” Since Jesus conquered death and promises to be with us always, there is nothing to fear. God expels our fears through His presence in our lives. Paul reminds Timothy, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
Employment Point: Live fearlessly through the power and presence of Jesus.
