Pastor Delaine's Weekly Email - July 15, 2026
Greetings! Monophobia is considered to be one of the most common and debilitating fears humans deal with. It is the fear of being left alone. Maybe you have experienced it before. The thought that we would have no one to turn to, no one to look after us or no one who cares, can be very disturbing. How wonderful to read that the final thing Jesus said to His disciples in Matthew’s gospel eliminated the need for them and for us to ever face monophobia. “And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20b NLT Christ’s beginning words: “And be sure of this,” bring great confidence to our hearts and emphasize that He had something of special importance to share that would keep us from ever feeling alone. Though Christ was leaving, He reassured the disciples and us: I am with you always.” He actually said, “I myself am with you.” His words guarantee that we have His own presence standing right beside us. And don’t miss that He said it will “always” be so. There is no expiration date on Christ’s warm presence with us. To cap off His assurance that He will never leave us alone, Christ impresses us even more with His final words: “Even to the end of the age.” Some see these words as a reference to time without end. Others think the words refer to the time when Christ comes to judge the world and set up His kingdom. Either way, we are promised we will never be without our Savior in this life. Just before Christ returned to heaven, He gave us a special gift. It was the gift of never having to experience one of the greatest fears that haunts mankind: the fear of being alone. Sleep well! Blessings! Delaine |
