Luke 9: 25-26- Not Being Ashamed
Luke 9: 25- 26- “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and is himself destroyed or lost? (26) 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 is a blunt statement for the people listening to what Jesus was saying. It is a blunt statement for people in the world today. Jesus talks of being ashamed of those who are ashamed of who Jesus is and His principles for living. That means rejection and people need to understand there will be a time to stand before Jesus and receive acceptance and an eternity with Him. There will be many not included on that day of judgment. People need to understand there is joy in the life with Jesus Christ and living by His principles. Proverbs 13: 16 - Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool lays open his folly.
