“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (v28). Three times, Jesus told His disciples not to fear those who would oppose their message (v26, 28, 31). Being faithful followers of Jesus at times would cause conflict (v34-38) and jeopardize worldly security; Jesus Himself was their model. Yet, giving total allegiance to Jesus was the only way to find true “life” (v39), on earth and into eternity. 

“Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows” (v31). God values our trust and costly obedience. When we follow the path of Jesus and trust the Father’s care, we can live without fear.
