Fear makes us do foolish things and it causes us to miss out on what God has for us. Fear makes us less than who we really are. But when we face fear and confront fear and not allow fear to stop us, we are given the amazing revelation of the Victory of Jesus over that which makes us most afraid – death. The Myrrhbearers and Joseph and Nicodemos all confront the decision of fear and they go beyond their fear to reach the Risen Christ.
