Not contradicting the entire statement...just usage of one word...'Fear'.
But did Jesus live in FEAR of death? Or did he live in acceptance of death and the saving Grace that came along with it? He knew what was coming...and being who He is, He may have been able to transcend all the human type fear of death and impending agony and look forward to being able to save all of us.
Mabey I'm totally off kilter here and completely wrong(wouldn't be surprising!)
I only request that, if I'm totally off...at least point out some relevant scripture so I can read up (I'm still going chapter by chapter) and have a better understanding...
I also may just be saying this to be contradictory to coerce you to explain your point more, so I can better understand. Are you seeing a trend here? ;-)

: ...because Jesus was living in Fear of death, this is how we know the Spirit was living within Him. He lived as one with terminal illness. Jesus knew death was coming... for Him and for all...
