ST00120 - Anguish and distress

What gives you distress? What do you fear and worry about? People of different times and in different places, have different kinds of worries and fears. People who live in good times, in wealth, in freedom, they may have relatively smaller kinds of worries and fears. But one thing is same for everybody: we all know that one day there will be a time, when this earthly life will come to an end and then the question whether we have made the best of our time. We may not be aware of it, but in the background, in the subconsciousness, that fear is often behind other distress. Jesus was fighting with death on our behalf. He went through all the pain, so that we do not get punished.
