After hearing Jesus prepare us to be "sheep in the midst of wolves," it's natural for fear to creep in as we think about persecution. Thankfully, Jesus doesn't leave us in our fear, but encourages us with truth to help us to "fear not." He does tell us there is One we should fear: The Lord Himself. We should be sure that we are confessing Him before men, and when we do, we have confidence that He will also confess us before the Father.
