Freedom through Fear

S - Scripture     
Matthew  10 v. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in Hell.   


O - Observation    
Freedom thru Fear. How bizarre is that!! But that is exactly what Jesus is saying here. Se we really have nothing to fear while here on earth, since this is a temporary stop.  Sure some deranged loony could take my life, or some greedy businessman could destroy my life savings, (i.e. the financial crunch). Not worrying about any of that is freedom. But , we do need to Fear him who destroys both body and soul in Hell. Who is he? Its God.  He is going to Judge us. He is the one that can condemn us to an eternity in Hell. Proverbs 1 v. 7 says, "The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of understanding.” And understand this, Jesus wants all to be saved.

A - Application            
Do I live my life as a free man?  

P  - Prayer      
Jesus, Thank you for my freedom!!!  Love Will.
