Ashamed of Jesus? God forbid!

"Not me!" you may be saying.

And you may be right.

But one can think he's obeying

what God expects, and not be.

The watering down of

Jesus and his words

can be unbelievably subtle.

Christians there are in name only,

(one hesitates to give them that much)

who without realizing it,

have moved our great Master

off the cover of their lives

to the inside pages.

You and I then need to stay sharp.



But hear Jesus' own words on this cosmically-important subject:
"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."
Mark 8:38
