    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 2, 2025
     | 239 views

    Things and people that we fear take a variety of forms. Jesus urges us to not fear those who can only do things to us in this life, but to fear Him who has power over eternity - and yet because of His great love, we should not fear Him.

    Introduction There are things that all of us fear. What may cause me fear might not be what causes you fear and vice versa.

    So, you know how we all have that one drawer or closet in our room that's just full of random stuff? It's like a black hole, right?

    Jesus teaches that many of us are afraid to come into the light because we're scared our bad actions will be exposed. But Jesus didn't come to condemn us, He came to heal us. He searches for us in the darkness and wants us to trust Him, look to Him, and follow Him into His kingdom of light.
