John perhaps knew Jesus better than any other disciple, but he had never seen him like this. When Jesus appeared to John in his vision in the Isle of Patmos, it struck fear deep into John's heart. He fell to the ground and was sure he was going to die. But Jesus placed his hand on John's shoulder and said, "Fear not, I am..." This week, we will discuss the relationship between the nature of Jesus and our fears and why although the full revelation of God would be something truly terrifying (and deadly) to fallen humanity, it is the contemplation of that same nature that is the remedy of our greatest fears.
