Most everyone has something about which they are occasionally afraid. In heartbreaking scenarios, some people live in fear, dread or anxiety almost every day. It is no surprise then that the most frequently repeated call in the Bible coming from God to us is the command to not be afraid. God wants us to live in assurance that He is in control and that He is for us, not against us. Because we live by faith, we embrace the reality that we must live with many unknowns as we follow Jesus. Our response to these unknowns is meant to be faith and trust, not fear and terror. In the very first scenes surrounding the birth of Jesus, we find three separate occasions wherein Heaven commands Mary, Joseph and the shepherds to refuse to live in fear. Christmas is the great message of hope that serves to banish our fears.
