In the Biblical account of the Christmas story, every time an angel appeared to someone, the first sentence out of it’s mouth was “Do not fear.” The reality is that fear and anxiety are powerful emotions; Emotions that have the potential to cripple us and to keep us living in darkness. Just as children (and adults too) are often afraid of the dark and find comfort in the light, Jesus longs to shine His light into our darkness and into our fear. Jesus longs to set us free from our fear this Christmas. So what are you so afraid of?
