Freed from the power of death; free from fear

Morning: Psalm 38; Proverbs 17:1-20; 1 Timothy 3:1-16
Evening: Psalm 132; Isaiah 11:1-10; Hebrews 2:11-18

At the heart of Christian faith is the conviction that, in Jesus, the Creator entered into our human experience to suffer and be tested just as we are.  Christians believe that, by becoming human, Christ – the Messiah, as Jesus is known – is able to destroy the power of death through his resurrection.  Fear of death holds humanity in a kind of slavery.  But the Christian story invites us to live free of fear and to know that the Creator cares enough about the Creation to step in and help.
