Topic: In Times Of Fear

Children are afraid of the dark. Children learn early they could stumble, fall, and get hurt as they try to move about in the dark. In addition, children hear stories about monsters, ghosts, or creepy crawly things in the dark. As an adult, there are going to be times when you are afraid. Whether you are a child or an adult, the dark is the unknown and adults are afraid of the dark unknown just as are children. Adults are afraid of what lies ahead in uncertain times and especially in times where we have to face death, sickness, or choices we don't want to make. The prophecy of Zechariah foretells of the coming of Jesus into the world. The prophecy speaks to us about how Jesus is working in our lives in the darkness of the here and now. Luke 1:78-79 ..because of the tender mercy of our god, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace." (NIV) In any dark circumstance Jesus is with us, He will always be there to guide us, and He will be a Lamp unto our feet..even when we face death.
