Considering who Jesus is - am I ashamed of Him?

 

Not Ashamed

Acts 5:19   After the Apostles had been arrested and jailed, the angel that set them free gave instructions to “go to the temple (the public gathering place) and give the people this message of life”.

At daybreak they went and immediately began teaching.

I thought they might have escaped to Galilee!

Verse 40 – After being flogged and ordered by the council, not to speak in the name of Jesus, they chose to disobey the order and in the temple and from house to house preached “ the Messiah you are looking for is Jesus”.

Wow – how quickly we shrink from public testimony to hide in our holy huddles!

I like the report from 1 Thessalonians 1:8

“And now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere.”

Not ashamed to own my Lord

Or to defend His cause!
