Just a thought


Tonight I watched the King's Speech. Its one of my favorite movies that always leaves me interred by different quotes. The one that caught me tonight was when Bertty and Lineal were apologizing to one another and Lineal spoke the truth that Bertty no longer had to be afraid of his life. Of his father and brother mocking and making him fear them. Of his nanny who abused him and of the places that were wrong with him that needed correcting. 

I know this is an odd thing to ask but I wonder what Christ feared? As a child if he had a nightmare and he would wake up and know that he was all right and that his heavenly father was watching over him, but the fear would not fade straight away. What did he fear in him life. Fear is not a sin; it’s the moment that we stop trusting God and start putting our dependence in something else. When we make an idol that we can be calmed and comforted in. I believe that Jesus was afraid thought out his life. 

When I think of moments of fear, I start thinking about where Jesus was with me. Is it strange that in my memory and recollection of that moment I see Jesus in the room with me sometimes? Not like I actually saw him, but that I know he is in the corner right next to me. Its odd but tonight I thought about where I have been comforted in the midst of my fear, and where my comforter has been able to allow me to feel peace. In the bible it says that we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with us. I don't know if its the power of the divine God just allowing me to feel peace, but there is a part of me that feels somewhat connected and understood in the idea that fear is not something that Christ can not compare to. 

Just something that made me think tonight.
