Fred's Devo # 67 Jesus Set Us Free From The Fear of Dying!!!

Key Verse: "For only as a human being could he (Jesus) die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. 15 Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying." Hebrews 14:b-15, NLT

Amazing and Wonderful! Jesus sacrifice and death for us broke the power of the devil over our lives and took away from us the fear of dying! HALLELUJAH!

" 16 We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[h] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested."

Commentary: As we see in the verses above, Jesus died for us, not angels! That's why he came as a man! Since he went through the same testing and suffering that we went through as humans, he is able to help us when we are tested!

Prayer: Jesus, thank you that though you were God, you came to earth as a man to live ,suffer and die as a sacrifice for our sins. I thank you that you understand our human temptations and trials because you yourself went through them. Lord give me the power and the strength to overcome my sins and resist the temptations that come my way. I thank you Lord that when I do sin, that you are faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and to cleanse me of all unrighteousness. (I Johnn 1:9)
In Jesus Name! Amen!
