“Do not be afraid”

Jesus rose again. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went into the tomb. They were told by an angel, “Do not be afraid” (Matt. 28:5). They met Jesus who also told them, “Do not be afraid” (Matt. 28:10).  Jesus came to the disciples and told them, “Peace be with you” (Jn. 20:19). Again, He said, “Peace be with you” (Jn. 20:21).

Humankind have a lot of things we are afraid of. But our God tells us not to be afraid. He wants us to have peace because He is the Almighty God. He is our rock, our fortress.

Do not be afraid.
