Luke 9: 26; Mark 8: 38
For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.
This was spoken by Jesus about 1.1/2 to two years into His earthly ministry. The religious leaders are starting to speak out against Jesus, and try to interrupt His teaching time. Jesus again tells His followers, that they must be bold in their defense of Jesus and He will be bold on their account when we get to Heaven. For if they shy away or are not bold, but ashamed, then He will treat them the same way in Heaven. This is quite a tough passage for us today. Many people say they are Christians, but when you start to talk about what they should believe in if they truly are Christians, they tell you you are too tough, or they call you things like too critical, or say my Jesus is not like that. If there was only one, how can we have different Jesus'? And still be following the same One?? Something has to be wrong here. We can not both be right! We have this problem, and we have not yet even ventured in to the hostile world of the unbeliever's. It was the same in Jesus' time. Many said they were followers, but could not provide enough evidence to convict them. If you were put in the same place, would they find enough evidence to convict you of being a Christian?? Which Jesus are you following? This blog has been looking at His words from the beginning of this blog, do they sound familiar? Only you and God know your heart.
