We live in very fearful times. In an interview with Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in 2016, Donald Trump said, “Real power is — I don’t even want to use the word — fear.” Obviously his trust in the power of fear was well founded as he went on to win the presidency.

Do not let fear have the last word on Paris
Do not become enslaved by the fear of death, as if the resurrection of Jesus meant nothing. Resist terrorism by refusing to give in to terror. Jesus is the last word, just as he was the first.
Have Courage
Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. (Exodus 14:13)
