HEBREWS 12:18–24 A girl once failed badly in her school exams. Afraid of being punished, she avoided class and hid from her teachers. That fear is like Mount Sinai—where the Israelites trembled before God’s holy presence (Hebrews 12:18–21). Sin made them feel unworthy and distant from Him.

GENESIS 3:1–10 My young nephew broke a rule and knew it. When I sat down with him, he squeezed his eyes shut—believing, like a child, that if he could not see me, I could not see him.
