When Thomas Aquinas considers the fear of the Lord, he employs language that is largely emotional and postlapsarian. Fear of God’s judgment and fear of separation from God each feature prominently in Aquinas’s treatment of the fear of the Lord. A problem arises when one considers Isaiah 11, however, for it claims that the Spirit of the fear of the Lord will rest upon the Messiah and that “his delight will be in the fear of the Lord.” Did Jesus fear judgment or separation from God? And if not, in what way did he fear the Lord? In this paper, I will attempt to answer these questions by considering Aquinas’s own answers to these questions and offering a critical evaluation of his treatment. Drawing on insights from Aquinas as well as from Dylan Schrader, Michael Reeves, and John Calvin, I will argue that Christ possessed an unfallen fear of the Lord, a fear that is not characterized by the fallen state and that is more dispositional than emotional in nature. I also argue that the fear of the Lord is related to human creatureliness but that this point does not pose a threat to Christ’s fear of the Lord, for it does not affirm that “there was a time when he was not.” Instead, it emphasizes the genuine humanity of Christ and the hope for fallen humans to fear the Lord rightly. I will then consider some implications of such a fear of the Lord for our own theology and practice, proposing that unfallen fear provides a better starting point for discussions of the fear of the Lord than fallen fear.
