Title: Fearless
By: Pastor
William Galang
Matthew 9:1-8,
NASB,
“Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed
over the sea and came to His own city. 2 And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed.
Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.” 3 And some of the scribes said to themselves, “This fellow blasphemes.” 4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? 5 Which
is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’? 6 But
so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He *said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your bed and go home.”7 And
he got up and went home. 8 But
when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had
given such authority to men.”
Jesus offers not muscles but mercy
Uncertainty about eternity
is the Godzilla of all angst. Being afraid was first experiences when Adam and
Eve disobeyed God in the garden. Digging deeper, it’s not just disobedience –
disobedience was a by-product of man’s disregard of God.
But God gives mercy. He knows
that with our own strength it is impossible to work for our salvation – only Jesus
was qualified to do that! So God gives mercy up until now.
Grace gives birth to courage
Nothing fosters courage
like a clear grasp of grace! And nothing fosters fear like the ignorance of it.
Titus 2:11 says, “God’s readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation’s
available for everyone!” In verse 15, “Tell them all this. Build up their
courage.”
Grace defangs fear
In the Bible, “Do not fear”
was mentioned 365 times, enough to sustain our everyday living. God knows we
are vulnerable to living in fear because the world is conditioning insecurities
in our hearts and minds. But the Word of God is our sword and shield! There are
enough promises to hold on to, to be fearless!
We are certain that
salvation is ours in Christ Jesus! Nothing like the grace God gives us! Grace through
only One Person – JESUS!
