"Fearless" Daily Devotional

This Daily Devotional is from Max Lucado's book, Fearless.


Read Hebrews 5:7-9:

NIV: During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him


Amplified Bible: .... In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]. Although He was a Son, He learned [active, special] obedience through what He suffered and, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him,


How does verse 7 describe Jesus’ experience on earth?

Why did even Jesus have to learn obedience (v.8)?

What does this suggest about our battling fear?
