Ashamed

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

Mark 8:38


The world loves to discount the truth of the Bible as non-intelligent ideas that are only meant for fanatics or for people who do not have the mental ability to think rationally. This lie that is spread by people who do not know the Savior is driven by their own selfish desires to call their own shots in this life. The reality is that these children of God are blinded by the enemy, Jesus says it like this in John 12:40: He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them." The reason that Jesus is so adamant here about not being ashamed to spread the good news about his awesome love and saving grace to the world around us is because his plan is to use your life to help remove the blinders of unbelief through living a life that reflects his love and image to the world around you in such a way that it rises above all rational thinking and reason. Now, in order to explain the power that you have to live such a life of faith may indeed require you to use “words” as well, in order to proclaim all the great things that our Savior has done in your life and to give Jesus the Glory for the life that you live. Don’t ever be ashamed of your Lord and Savior – tell the world that Jesus lives today and proclaim the miracle of what He has done for you!
