| Mastering Your Fears and Phobias |
As Jesus approached the disciples’ boat in the dark of night by walking on the water, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!” (Matthew 14:22-33) They were terrified. How often do we object in fear as Jesus approaches? Some Christians find comfort in the law, but as Jesus approaches they fear his grace. Grace can be a fearful thing. Others find comfort in their Talmuds, Disciplines and Canon Laws but as Jesus comes near, they fear his teachings which often contradict their ideas. Jesus’ teachings can be fearful so we bury them in our traditions. Fear is one thing that can keep us out of heaven (Revelation 21:7-9). Jesus tells us not to fear his presence. Let us then also take action. Like Peter, our steps may be faltering, but at least he took steps instead of staying put.
