The word for today is - Ashamed !

 

 

Did you know that when Jesus was still living here on earth, there were people ashamed of Him? Did you know that still today there are people who are ashamed of Jesus?  Read  Mark 8:38,Whosoever 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 cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.Did you get that? Judas was ashamed of Jesus. He was at one time a follower of Christ and even an apostle,Luke 6:13-16. However, there came a time when he betrayed Jesus, Matthew 26:14-16, 47-49. Read Psalm 31:1,In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. Read verse3, For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. This is a New Year who is leading you? What Spirit? Read Romans1:16,For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.Why would you be ashamed of the one who saved you? We are justified freely, read Romans 3:24-25, Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. It's in His blood,Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.  Let's look at John 3:5, Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. You can not enter into the Kingdom with out the Spirit of God in you (the Holy Spirit).  Let's look at Nicodemus , he was afraid, or ashamed to be seen with Christ, therefore came in the night. Is there anyone or anything that has you living in shame? or ashamed to be seen with you? It's a New Year,We must be entirely different from what we were before (last year), we cannot be the same ( the same way of thinking) with that which was before.  A good man or woman acts truly and sincerely in all he or she does (the heart). What hurts the most is a friend or even a relative who did something you would never expect this person to do and it made you ashamed ,that hurts the most. On the other hand we need renewed hearts,by the Holy Ghost and the commanding principle (love). Thank you God for loving us, and never being ashamed to show yourself in us (the Holy Spirit). The word in Matthew 10:33,But whosoever shall deny me before men; him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.Do you not know that the Holy Spirit (dwells) in you? Thank you God for your word. Amen !
