The Fear of Jesus

Part 16 of 23 in the series, “Belonging to Him.” To “fear God” is a recurring commandment in Scripture. But does it sound strange to your ears that we’re likewise called fear Jesus? This sermon takes a look at the Jesus of the Gospels and demonstrates that people didn’t just encounter the gentle, humble shepherd, but also the Lord of all creation, a person who regularly incited awe, astonishment, amazement…and reverential fear. How well we fear Jesus will affect the quality of our personal relationship with him, and whether or not we’ll live in fear of everything else life throws at us from day to day (sermon recorded in 2019.)
