This past Sundays Lectionary reading was taken from 2 Timothy Chapter 1 verses 1-14. It is a powerful reading for it is the last letter that Paul writes before he is executed by Emperor Nero. Luke is with him and Paul writes this letter to Timothy to encourage him and he tells him not to hold on to a "Spirit of Fear". For with Christ there is no fear. I love this letter, for Paul demonstrates that his fear has been removed. Here's my question, are there areas of "fear" in your life that only Jesus can remove. Where do we begin?
