Mark 12:12
Fear is the name of the game. Without a consideration of God, and the things of God, fear is all there is for those who want power in this world. Power must be attained and kept somehow. A whole host of semi-legal politicking and out of sight shenanigans take place all the time in this world system.
Jesus was not afraid of these men, and that is part of what made him so scary. They couldn’t find his weak spot. They couldn’t control him.
Heavenly Father, thank you for protecting us from this world. There are so many people out there that would like to see Christians go away. But, our rule is love, so thank you for helping us to communicate that. You teach us the better way, the way without fear. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
