300th Post Jesus Said Promises Made to His Followers Con't. - Peace and Rest Con't. - Matthew 10: 28 - 31.

Matthew 10: 28 - 31; Luke 12: 3 - 7.
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
This was spoken by Jesus about 1.1/2 years into His earthly Ministry. Jesus is telling us, not to fear evil men or even the devil. They can only kill your body, once. But Fear God who created the heavens and the earth, and hell itself. He (God) has the power to kill both body and soul in hell. The word fear here is not the meaning of being afraid, but of reverence. We are to remember that God is in control, and we are subject to His will. This is why Jesus talks about the price of sparrows and the hairs on your head. God created both, and care for both. Jesus talks about the the hairs on your head being numbered; if God knows you that well, you have much value in His eyes. God sent His Son to die for us, so that not one of us should be lost. All we have to do is believe in Him, and let the Holy Spirit living in us change our lives. Only you can change your position, and you do this by asking Jesus into your heart. Have you done this yet? There is still time.
