Luke 24:25-26

“If Christ be anything, He must be everything” (Charles Spurgeon). Let the worth of Jesus inform the way you spend your days. 

Isolation ≠ seclusion. In isolation, fear is loud; in seclusion, God is heard. Where are you standing in this season of uncertainty: behind the closed doors of fear or in the waiting room of God's sovereignty? As with the disciples, God can change our lives in one visit, but He needs a private moment with us first. Make room for seclusion and God will intercede!

As a believer, you must learn how to live with fear and walk with faith. These are not mutually exclusive; they are part of a foundation of our consciousness established by God Himself. The enemy attacks our mind to throw our body and our spirit out of alignment by establishing fear as a foothold, but faith is the first defense we have against our inner and outer fears!

In this part of the "Uniqueness of Christ" series, pastor Mark Rae guides us to meditate on Jesus' unique role as Messiah or Anointed One. Multiple passages in the Bible tell us what Jesus and others said about His role and how people reacted to it. How might we best respond to Jesus' unique role?
