“Do Not Be Ashamed”
“Whoever
therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation;
of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when He comes in the glory of His
Father with the holy angels.” (v.26)
What does
it mean to be ashamed of Christ? It means denial, a fear of being identified
with Jesus and His Word, fearing what others might think, say or do -
ultimately, a refusal to accept Him as Lord.
The
warning here is clear and not just limited to the unbelievers of Christ’s day,
it extends to us as well. Clearly those who deny Jesus and His holy Word, Jesus
will deny them before His Father in heaven and they will not escape the wrath
that is to come upon His return.
Therefore,
make your stand for Christ today while there is still time and be like Paul who
said, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation, to the Jew first and also the
Greek." (Romans 1:16)
The Truth
“For the
Son of man shall come in the glory of his
Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every
man according to his works.” (Matthew 16:27)
