After His resurrection, Jesus came to His disciples, Meeting them between the garden and its empty tomb and the city with its mob still passionate with hate. He said to them "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brethren" Matt. 28:10).
We are truly blessed as we are reminded that in the midst of a world filled with danger, hatred, and war, that the words of our Lord Jesus Christ are just as relevant as when He spoke them. He still says to all who love Him. "Do not be afraid."
Our Lord comes to you in the hospital room or in the midst of a family tragedy. He comes to you in the midst of an unexpected business reversal or physical crisis. And He says, don’t be afraid. I'm alive, and I'm here to help you. The Cross shows the depth of My love, and the Resurrection shows the depth of My power. Nothing can ever separate you from me!"
During the Month of November we will be celebrating Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving as we prepare for Advent and all the activities associated with The Christmas Season. So take a moment each day to reflect on the goodness of Christ as you hold on to Romans 8:35, which states: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?"
