Most of our fears have to do with loss: what we have lost in the past or

what we might lose in the future. Whether it is the loss of life or of

something or someone we hold precious, this fear can be powerful in

driving our choices and emotions. Many people are threatened by Jesus.

They think He will take away something precious to them – maybe even

costing them more than they can bear. When we feel like this, we plot to

remove Him or His influence from our lives. However, God is able to use

even our rebellion and rejection to His good purpose. We’ll see the

we’ll see what the apostle John has to say about what God was going to

miss out on what He can do because we treat Him like a threat?
