"No Fear Needed"

As students and children well know, no matter how hard we try not to be like our parents or teachers, we pick up their mannerisms, innocuous ticks, and other behaviors as well. We are becoming like them, whether we consciously try to do so or not....

... ah, but we want to be like Jesus, and the more we hang out with Him the more we become like Him. The more we sit at His feet and walk by His side His habits become our habits.

Oh, and others begin to notice this, too. This is for good and for, well, painful times, too. Rememeber: they did call our Teacher, ‘Beelzebub,’ and they did.... Well, you know the story...

No fear is needed here, though! Because the ‘end’ of His Story is the Resurrection...and ours, too.

So lift up your voices and sing praises to the Resurrected One Who is our Life!
