"'It is all right,' the LORD replied. 'Do not be afraid. You will not die.'" ~Judges 6:23, NLT
Gideon was the youngest, smallest, of the least clan of the smallest tribe. But God showed Himself to even Gideon, and encouraged him. The little brother was afraid to hear God, to obey God, to see God, and he knew better than most people nowadays that God is dangerous.
But what God told Gideon was reflected later by what Jesus did. Now we can enter into God's presence and know what God told Gideon is true - with Jesus, we don't have to be afraid of death. We don't have to be afraid of God incinerating us for our unholiness - because of what Jesus did, we can be holy too, and we can come before God. God has chosen you. It's all right.
