Paul writes to the
Romans that he is "not ashamed of the gospel." I've always been struck by that idea. Perhaps because my experience is that sometimes I am afraid of the ridicule that following Christ can entail. I feel it occassionally when I am in a social setting with people I've just met and they ask me what I do for a living. I wonder what their reaction will be. I hope that the relationship will continue. Maybe you've been there.
In this passage Paul helps us get over our fear by teaching us that:
- We will not be ashamed if we really understand what the gospel is.
- We will not be ashamed if we factor in the power of God.
- We will not be ashamed if we truly believe the gospel.
I beleive that God will really do an incredible work in our midst over the coming weeks. See you there!
