As someone put it: “Fear is simply unbelief parading in disguise.” FAITH IN THE POWER OF JESUS OVERCOMES FEAR: When His disciples were fearful of the storm at sea – (Matt. 8:23-27), When Peter faltered as he went to Jesus walking on the water – (Matt. 14:25-33), As Jesus taught them not to have fearful anxiety concerning the necessities of life – (Luke 12:27-32). Placing our trust in the Master eliminates our worst fears: The fear of facing this life alone? Jesus promised, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” – (Matt. 28:20). “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’” – (Heb. 13:5-6). What is the worst that can happen? Is it death? Jesus addressed that too. His own victory over death frees us from the fear of death – (Heb. 2:14-15).
