Perspective

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. In context, Jesus is telling us how to approach life as we go out into the world to proclaim the Gospel. As we go, we will face persecution by a world that does not understand, and often, does not want to know. How do we respond to that? Often, our initial response is fear. But what we need to do is put our fears in proper perspective. Who is the Almighty One? The Creator or those who persecute us? Who will ultimately be the Judge before Whom we all must stand? Put in perspective, there is only One we should fear.
