Spiders.
Someone is probably afraid of them. I used to be more afraid of them, but some years ago I learned that the number of people who die from spider bites in the US is 6 every year. Out of 300,000,000 people, that's a pretty small chance that you're going to die from a spider bite. A little knowledge made me less afraid of spiders.
Sin and death would threaten to destroy us, but God's love is stronger than these, and God's love is shown in fullness on the cross, when God suffered death so that we might not be subject to these powers anymore. The knowledge of God's love helps us not to be afraid of such things, and so we can look forward in hope, not fear. As someone once said, when we understand the depth and strength of God's love, we realize that the only thing death can do is make us better. It's wild to say that, but it's true, and the more we realize that, the less we are afraid.
