By the way, Timothy, a fairly new convert to Jesus, would be going alone. Is there any fear in Timothy? If so, he didn’t let him stop him from doing what Paul asked! He went to Thessalonica, he met with the believers there, and he came back to Corinth and reported to Paul about what he discovered from his visit. As a follower of Jesus, can we have fear? Absolutely...but, it’s what we do with that fear. Do we let that fear hold us back from being obedient? Or do we have courage and overcome our fear, being obedient to our calling? fear, afraid, scared, grip, tight, hold, obey, obedience, forward, courage, courageous Paul sends Timothy back to Thessalonica to check on them.
