The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe (Proverbs 29:25).
Are you more afraid of man or God?
Christianity has always been hazardous to the believer’s health. Jesus, therefore, gives the following admonition: “My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do” (Luke 12:4). Conversely, He commands His disciples, “Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!” (Luke 12:5). Our Lord Jesus builds His case using sparrows. These birds are a food source for the poor and ceremonially clean, which means Jews could eat them. The sovereign Lord cares for these seemingly insignificant creatures; therefore, He will watch over His disciples. Jesus adds, “Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:7).
Employment Point: Fear only the Almighty God who cares deeply for you.
