2 Kings 6:8-23

Chariots of fire

Fear can stop us speaking and living boldly for Jesus in a hostile world. In 2 Kings 6, Elisha is the victorious saviour who shows mercy to his enemies, who points us forward to the our merciful saviour, Jesus. Seeing we belong to the winning side is the antidote to fear. Seeing Jesus's mercy to his enemies should drive the winning side out in courageous service in the world.
