Have you ever noticed how many times angels tell people
connected to the Christmas story: do not
be afraid'?
· When an angel told Zechariah he would have a son who would prepare the way for the Messiah he prefaced what he said with: 'Do not be afraid' (Luke 1:13)
·
When an angel appeared to Joseph to tell him Mary was pregnant with the Messiah he told him: 'Do not be afraid' (Matthew 1:20)
·
When an angel told Mary she had found favour with God and was going to give birth to God's Saviour Son he said: 'Do not be afraid' (Luke 1:30)
·
When the angels appeared to the shepherds to announce good news of great joy they said: 'Do not be afraid' (Luke 2:10)
However, there is more to this than an angelic
catchphrase.
'Do not be afraid' is a message for us all, which this brilliant 3 minute 'spoken word' video from Dai Woolridge beautifully explores. Grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy...
