Mark 8:38
For whoever is ashamed of Me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of hum the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the Holy angels.
Ashamed in Websters dictionary means feeling shame. Shame means a painful feeling of having lost the respect of others because of improper behavior, also dishonor or disgrace.
Knowing this, this scripture is saying Anyone who is feeling a lack of respect because of My improper behavior or dishonor and disgrace of Me and My Word. Well hold up, let me stop right there. If you are feeling a lack of respect of Jesus, go home. Go home and keep to yourself, puck up the Bible and read. After you have read any of the Word of God and are still having the feeling, lack of respect towards Jesus, it is probably because it convicts you of sin and you cant except the truth. But please know that all have sun and Jesus came to let us be free of that, He came and showed love, true love, and truth spoken with love, and if you missed that message, it may be your caught up in the world and cant let go. You cant let go of what haunts you and be released from the evil one's bondage. It truly doesn't even make sense that you are ashamed of God and His word, yet I understand because I not too long ago felt this way. But realize He loves you more than anyone ever can and if you put all your trust in Him, He will turn things around for you and make life a life to follow Christ where you will find yourself doing good and surrounded by good.
Application:
Today I will pray and ask God to convict me of a sin that I am unaware of and thank Him for He is bring me that much closer to Him. I will then ask for forgiveness and repent.
