This is a Bill Johnson theme: fear will always provide the facts needed to sustain itself. To these guys avoiding Judea isn’t about fear, it’s the prudent thing to do. How many times do we hear this or something like it each day? It is purely eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Let’s assess the situation, come up with the thing that looks like it makes most sense and then do it. Jesus doesn’t stop and hold a conference on the pros and cons of going back to the place where people wanted to stone him. He listens to the Spirit and he moves. If we abide in him, we will have many discussions like this one. They are good for us not because of the information but because it helps us to see what tree we are eating from. Strangely enough the fear of death seems to be the primary reason people eat from the tree that brings it.
