Ashamed, Afraid or Unbeliever – Sunday Thought For The Day

People always talk about what and/or who is important to them. We cannot wait to tell our friends about what our favorite sports team did in the big game or perhaps tell them about a new restaurant.  New car, new book, new movie, new store or a new cigar – we talk about it.

But, how many of our friends do we tell what the Lord is doing in our lives?  With how many of our friends do we share what the sermon was our pastor preached on Sunday?   With how many of our unsaved friends have we shared what it means to be Christian, and why we gave our lives to Jesus?

It is terrible indictment if we are Christians and know more about politics, golf or the football draft than we in fact know about God’s word.

If Christ is important to us, we will talk about Him. We will share what He means to us, and why.  And, we won’t just share about Him with other believers.

The bottom line is: we talk about what is important to us and we aren’t ashamed to do so.  Why are so many ashamed (or perhaps afraid) to boldly share about their relationship with Christ Jesus?  Is it because we are ashamed of Him?  The scriptures tell us: “For whosever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall come in His own glory…” (See: Luke 9:26 KJV)

If Christ is your Savior don’t be ashamed to let others know.  Look for opportunities to share your personal testimony of how you were saved and to share Jesus Christ. We should be more eager to speak of Christ in our life, than we are to speak of who was the first pick and who went in the first round in a sports draft.

Romans 1:16-17 (KJV)

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.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
