#soap # John 06 ## Title: Don’t Be Afraid ## Scripture: (John 6:20) But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.” (NET) ## Observation: They are in the middle of a storm. It looks bad. No doubt they had lost friends before due to the powerful, unexpected storms on the Sea of Galilee. Then, they see Jesus. The first thing Jesus says is that their fear is over. They no longer need to be afraid. The storm is going. The circumstances have not changed. What changed was the presence of Jesus. When He arrives, everything changes. Now that we have the Holy Spirit living within us, we have the eternal God always with us. Therefore, there is no place for fear in our lives. So, even if the circumstances of your life have not changed, live without fear today. The King is there. Therefore, you will go through nothing alone today. ## Application: Imagine God being with you throughout the day when facing your greatest difficulties. He is giving you wisdom. He is reminding you that you are not alone. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being there.
