Since the children have flesh and blood, Jesus too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death – that is, the devil – and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
Hebrews 2:14,15
-----------
From the journal of John Wesley, Sunday, January 25, 1736:
There was now an opportunity of trying whether they [the Moravian believers] were delivered from the Spirit of fear, as well as from that of pride, anger, and revenge.
In the midst of the psalm wherewith their service began, the sea broke over, split the main-sail in pieces, covered the ship, and poured in between the decks, as if the great deep had already swallowed us up.
A terrible screaming began among the English. The Germans calmly sung on.
I asked one of them afterwards, “Was you not afraid?”
He answered, “I thank God, no.”
I asked, “But were not your women and children afraid?”
He replied, mildly, “No; our women and children are not afraid to die.”
