“But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, ‘Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.’” (Mark 5:36)

Jesus came to set free those who, through fear of death, have been subject to that fear all their lives. When we trust Jesus rose from death, we escape death. How? We have died with and in Him. It is a done deal. We, now in Him, live His living. We skipped the experience of death in exchange for experiencing His living. We experience His life right now, living through this flesh. Those who do not trust Him cannot experience His life because they have chosen to think this life is their independent, free-willed living.

Christ has erased the need to fear living.

Lord, thank You for erasing fear and replacing it with Your eternal qualities of trust, hope, and love, especially LOVE.
