\u201cWees niet bang. Ik breng jullie goed nieuws, een grote vreugde voor alle mensen. Vandaag is in de stad van David een Verlosser voor jullie geboren: Christus de Heer.\u201d
Lucas 2:10-11<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Terwijl de Heer Jezus in de stad Bethlehem werd geboren, hielden herders buiten de stad 's nachts de wacht over hun schapen. \u201cEn zie, een engel van de Heer stond voor hen, en de heerlijkheid van de Heer straalde om hen heen, en zij werden zeer bevreesd.\u201d<\/em> Het is interessant om op te merken dat telkens wanneer er een engel verschijnt in de verhalen rond de geboorte van onze Heer, de mensen aan wie ze verschijnen bang zijn \u2013 Maria in Lucas 1:30, Jozef in Matte\u00fcs 1:20, zelfs enkele maanden eerder was Zacharias bang (Lucas 1:12-13), en nu zijn de herders zeer bevreesd wanneer de glorie van de engel hen omringt. Wie van ons zou niet bang zijn als er een stralende engel onder ons zou verschijnen?<\/p>

Dit woord scheen<\/em> Het woord wordt slechts \u00e9\u00e9n andere keer in het Nieuwe Testament gebruikt, namelijk toen de Heer aan Saulus van Tarsus verscheen. \u201cOp het middaguur, o koning, zag ik langs de weg een licht uit de hemel, helderder dan de zon, dat mij en mijn reisgenoten omhulde.\u201d<\/em> (Handelingen 26:13).<\/p>

Toen ik nadacht over de angst die ieder van de aanwezigen bij de geboorte van de Heer Jezus bekroop, dwaalden mijn gedachten af naar de Hof van Eden \u2013 naar Adam en Eva. Zij hadden nooit angst gekend totdat de zonde de wereld binnenkwam. Toen de Heer Adam riep, lezen we dat Adam antwoordde:, \u201cIk hoorde uw stem in de tuin, en ik was bang omdat ik naakt was; daarom heb ik mij verstopt.\u201d<\/em> (Genesis 3:10). Let op de drie dingen die de zonde met zich meebracht: schuld en angst.\u201cIk was bang.\u201d<\/em>\u2014en schaamte\u2014\u201cOmdat ik naakt was.\u201d<\/em> De zonde bracht schuld, angst en schaamte met zich mee, en de wereld lijdt sindsdien onder deze drie dingen.<\/p>

Wij zijn schuldig voor een heilige God omdat \u201cAllen hebben gezondigd en missen de heerlijkheid van God.\u201d<\/em> Wij vrezen omdat \u201cHet is een vreselijke zaak om in de handen van de levende God te vallen.\u201d<\/em> (Hebree\u00ebn 10:31). En we ervaren schaamte vanwege onze zonde.<\/p>

Maar het woord dat de geboorte van onze Heer omringt is \u201cWees niet bang!\u201d<\/em> De engel verkondigde aan de herders:, \u201cIk breng jullie goed nieuws, een grote vreugde die voor alle mensen zal zijn.\u201d<\/em> De Heer Jezus Christus kwam om de liefde van God te tonen, en \u201cIn de liefde is geen vrees, maar volmaakte liefde verdrijft de vrees, want vrees brengt kwelling met zich mee. Wie vreest, is echter niet volmaakt in de liefde.\u201d<\/em> (1 Johannes 4:18).<\/p>

Aan het kruis heeft de Heer Jezus\u2014\u201cHij die geen zonde kende\u201d<\/em>-was \u201cHij is voor ons tot zonde gemaakt, opdat wij in Hem de gerechtigheid van God zouden worden.\u201d<\/em> (2 Korinti\u00ebrs 5:21). Hij nam onze schuld en schaamte op zich, \u201cDe rechtvaardige voor de onrechtvaardigen, opdat Hij ons tot God zou brengen.\u201d <\/em>Zijn dood verklaart Zijn geboorte.<\/p>

Ankerpunt voor vandaag:
<\/strong>Hoe lieflijk klinkt de naam van Jezus <\/em>
In het oor van een gelovige! <\/em>
Het verzacht zijn verdriet, geneest zijn wonden., <\/em>
En het verdrijft zijn angst.<\/em>
