Jesus himself was aware of the underlying, all pervading fear in the heart of man and must have known its ground in himself. He saw the cheapness of life; people dropping to the earth dead, no differently than sparrows. The fragility of life! Fevers and disasters carrying people off in an hour; here today and gone tomorrow. He was in continual contact with the maimed, the wrecked, the mad.
He had the answer, not the explanation. ‘You have a Father in heaven who knows. He loves you. Not a hair on your head shall perish.’ What a superb guarantee, which, if we could really make it our own, we overcome our fear of life and death. You, as a person, are affirmed and guaranteed absolutely by the only One who can do so. Fear not, learn to trust the rock-like fidelity of your Father.
