Fear Not: God’s Words For Troubled Times

Matthew 28: 5-6

 “Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

 He is not here: for he is risen

The phrase fear not, or be not afraid is mentioned in the bible over 100 times, When the women went to the tomb after the Passover to anoint Jesus’ body they found an empty grave. Mary was especially troubled, and the angel told her,” Fear Not”. This is not a suggestion, but a command. Our risen Savior proved once and for all that He is in control when He claimed victory from the grave. This should serve as a reminder even in these trying times that ” neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Fear not, it is Resurrection Day,and we fight FROM victory, not for victory,for He is risen!

  1. In total agreement with Dennis, George, thanks for taking the time to post this reflection.

    He is truly risen and waiting for us to rise from this temporary separation from each other.
    This is just one more way that we are blessed with to be able to stay in community with Him.

    Happy Easter to all
