In many of the world’s great religions we find the teaching, “Have no fear.” Have no fear of those who oppose you, Jesus reassures the disciples, for everything is known to God. And he reminds them to stay mindful of their worth in the eyes of God, for if even the tiny sparrows are dear to God, how then would God forget any one of them? Not even death can separate them from God. We, like the disciples, are working to usher in a new age, an age when love will reign, and fear and suffering will fall away. And we too may feel uncertain at times about how best to participate in God’s healing work.
God, help us to let go of our fears and trust that your light and love will guide us as we share the good news of a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness reigns and all of creation is made new through love.
