Luke 22:54-62 | JD Summers

The fear of man hinders us from faithfully following Jesus. Fear can control and constrict us, compelling us to act in ways that are counterintuitive to our faith in Christ. The fear of God should move us to worship, obey, and enjoy him, but we replace that right motivation with other, lesser motivations that lead us into sin. In light of this, then, how wonderful is the grace of God that both convicts us of this sin and also draws us to repentance. Where we are faithless, he is faithful. Where we are fearful, he is forgiving. Let us draw near to our merciful Savior in hope!
