Happy the person who is never without fear,
but he who hardens his heart will fall into misfortune.
Proverbs 28:14 CJB
The Jesus we meet in the garden at Gethsemane is someone who is facing their fears, wanting to have a different future, but facing it anyway.
He did not harden his heart.
He did not harden his heart towards the Father, or towards us.
This little proverb reminds us that how we stand here matters.
Jesus faced death alone, so that we don't have to. The things we're most afraid of, He has gone before us.
Hardening our hearts is not the answer, that's one thing this proverb reminds us.
And we can get a glimpse of Jesus, facing his fear, and we can too, but we don't have to do that alone.
