Then Came Jesus

John 20:19–21 CSB

When it was evening on that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because they feared the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”

Luke 18:27 CSB

He replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Romans 8:15 CSB

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”

2 Timothy 1:7 CSB

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.

1 John 4:18 CSB

There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears is not complete in love.
