Do Not Be Ashamed of the Gospel (Mark 8:27-38)
God is endowed with the attributes of intellect, emotion and will. He sent the Son to testify to the fact that He is living namely, Jesus Christ (Jn 1:18). Jesus is the Only Begotten from God¡¯s bosom and the Father and the Son are one (Jn 10:30). Therefore, to be ashamed of Jesus is to be ashamed of the Father; to be ashamed of the Gospel is to be ashamed of the truth (Ro 1:16- ), thus, the Word of God (Logos). Jesus Christ was not ashamed of us sinners. For this reason, whoever is ashamed of the Gospel, God also will be ashamed of him; whoever is ashamed of power, the Holy Spirit also will be ashamed of him.
¡Û Let us not be ashamed of the Gospel. He who is ashamed of the truth curses himself, that is his soul.
¡Û Let us not be ashamed of Jesus. He endured all kinds of reproach for our sakes. This is life.
¡Û Let us not be ashamed of the workings of the Holy Spirit. Let us not be ashamed of receiving his gifts but obey. This is faith.
¡Ø If we are ashamed of God, God also will be ashamed of us.
