Those who kill the body

⁴ “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do. ⁵ But I will point out to you whom you should fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority and power to hurl [you] into ^[b]hell; yes, I say to you, [stand in great awe of God and] fear Him!  – Luke 12:4-5

You are of great value to God.  He died for you, on purpose, to save your soul for all eternity. He cares about you (John 3:16-17).

These are troubling days, for sure.  Biblical prophecy appears to be happening right before our eyes.  What a wild and woolly rollercoaster ride we are on.  But Jesus said for us:  Do not fear, I will help you.

Fear not: Daniel 6:26; Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 27:3; Acts 2:25; Psalm 112:7; Psalm 46:2; Psalm 56:4; Proverbs 3:25; Isaiah 8:12; Isaiah 51:7; Romans 8:15; 2 Timothy 1:7; Hebrews 10:35; Revelation 2:10; 1 John 1:9; Romans 3:22-24; John 3:16

When we face difficult times in our life  we must keep our eyes on Jesus. He is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).  He will carry us through.  You can be the one who endures and overcomes.

Jesus encouraged us, saying not to worry about death at the hands of another:

⁴ “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do. ⁵ But I will point out to you whom you should fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority and power to hurl [you] into ^[b]hell; yes, I say to you, [stand in great awe of God and] fear Him!  – Luke 12:4-5

^“Your life is a journey you must travel
with a deep consciousness of God.
It cost God plenty
to get you out of that dead-end,
empty-headed life you grew up in.
He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know.
He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb….”
– 1 Peter 1:18-21   The Message (MSG)

^“…be strong in the Lord
[draw your strength from Him…”
– Ephesians 6:10-13   Amplified Bible (AMP)  

^“The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end.
They are new every morning.
Great is your faithfulness.”
– Lamentations 3:22-23 _ESV
