Whoever
Disowns Me Before Others,
I
Will
Disown
Before My Father In Heaven.
Scripture
Matthew
10
28 Do not be
afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather,
be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in
hell.
29 Are not
two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the
ground outside your Father’s care. 30 And even the very
hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be
afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32 “Whoever
acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my
Father in heaven.33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will
disown before my Father in heaven.
Observation
Are
you guilty?
Maybe
someone told you about Jesus Christ, or you heard His claims on the
radio or television, or maybe you even heard about Jesus when you
attended a church service and yet you have decided at least up to now
to “disown” Him.
Take
a minute to read Matthew 10 and you might rethink that decision. God
loves me and He loves you.
God
wants us to live with Him in Heaven forever. But God allows us the
choice to either accept His offer of the forgiveness of our sins,
which He paid for with the death of His Son Jesus Christ on the
cross, or we can reject the offer and disown Jesus.
Just
a reminder: once we are born you and I are always going to exist
forever either in Heaven or Hell.
I
am so grateful to the person(s) who shared the Good News of Jesus
Christ with me when I was 19 years old and that was when I made the
decision to acknowledge Jesus Christ as my Lord and my Savior.
How
about you – Heaven or Hell?
Application
Jesus
Christ is my Lord and my Savior. I know that I am going to Heaven
when I die. And I am going to Heaven not because I am a good person
(I am a sinner) but because Jesus Christ died in my place and He paid
the penalty for my sins on the cross. Own or Disown … the choice is
ours to make!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that someone may read this blog today who has not yet
taken You and Your claims for their life seriously. Open up his or
her spiritual eyes so that they can see and understand the message of
salvation. Show them their need for a Savior and give them the
courage and the boldness to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.
Eternal separation from their loved ones, from those who know Jesus
Christ and spending an eternity in Hell suffering … why would
anyone choose that? Don't let them continue to disown Jesus. I pray
for their salvation right now.
