Commentary

Fearfulness has no place in the life of a follower of Jesus. In Him we have our security, for He is the sure foundation upon which we can live our lives. We need not fear that we are going in the wrong direction, for He is the Way. We need not worry whether we have an adequate understanding of the meaning of life, for He is the Truth. We need not be troubled about what will happen to our souls after death, for He is the Life.
Confidence in the Lord Jesus gives us the ability to move forward in faith and to make progress on the way that leads to the Father.
