Luke 9:26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. This is a radical call to personal allegiance to Jesus. He wanted to know if we would be ashamed of Him or of His words. It’s no wonder that some were ashamed of Jesus during the days of His earthly ministry; it is astounding that any would be ashamed of Him today. Jesus, revealed in the full glory of His sacrificial love. Jesus, revealed in the full power of His resurrected glory. Jesus, ascended to heaven and honored. Jesus, loving and praying for His people from heaven. Who could be ashamed of that? Yet, some are ashamed. The ashamed man believes; you can’t be ashamed of something you don’t believe in. He believes, but doesn’t take satisfaction and confidence in his belief. Ashamed means that you don’t want to be seen together in public. Ashamed means that you don’t want to talk about Him. Ashamed means that you avoid Him when possible. Some are ashamed out of fear, some out of social pressure, some out of intellectual or cultural pride. Objectively considered, such shame is a strange phenomenon.
