Have No Fear - Part 1

Luke 1 & 2

December 16, 2012 • Philip De Courcy • Luke 1—2

Two words that stand out in the Bible like twin towers are fear not. So often fear seems to be conquering us rather than us conquering it. More than any other command in the Bible, God commands us most to fear not. We don’t need to panic, but rather we need to pray, perform and praise. Scared is not the calling of a child of God. The cowardly Christian has forgotten himself or herself and who they are in Christ and all the promises that Christ has made to them. But why shouldn’t we be afraid? Because we have the assurance that God hears and answers our prayer and we have the confidence that God will supply a binding abundant grace to do what He calls us to do, even if it's in difficult circumstances.
