Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
‘I Am Not Ashamed’ (Part-1)
‘They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.’ Psalms 34:5
Today’s Insight
The Psalmist wrote, ‘They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.’ As a follower of Christ, that should be your testimony. Because you have placed your trust in Him you are able to say, ‘I am not ashamed’ of: 1) His birth. Mary was His mother, but God was His Father. So He was tainted with neither inherited sin nor practiced sin, hence He meets all of God’s requirements to be our Savior.
2) His miracles. He never demanded money in exchange for a miracle. Not one supernatural act was performed for selfish or ostentatious purposes, but only to meet people’s needs.
3) His preaching. Even His enemies had to admit, ‘…No man ever spoke like this Man!’ (John 7:46 NKJV). Other men’s words inform us; His words transform us.
4) His claims. He said, ‘…He that hath seen me hath seen the Father…’ (John 14:9 KJV). You see the fullness of God expressed in the person of Jesus Christ.
5) His death. He bore your shame. You were morally and spiritually bankrupt. But He satisfied all of God’s claims against you at the cross, writing ‘Paid in full’ across your account.
6) His resurrection. ‘Lifted up was He to die, it is finished was His cry. Now in heaven exalted high, Hallelujah, what a Savior.’ And His promise is, ‘…Because I live, you will live also’ (John 14:19 NKJV).
7) His mediator-ship. Picture this: when you fail He stands before God on your behalf, offering His blood as atonement for your sin. If you saw Him now you would say, ‘I am not ashamed of Jesus.’
Parallel verses: Lk 10:38-42, Jn 11:1-44, Jn 12:1-3
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your Word today. Lord, I come before you with a humble heart. Lord I thank you for your love which is unconditional you died for us while we were still sinners that all of us who have no hope can have a chance now to receive eternal life and enter the Paradise. Lord empowers me to increase my faith because of what you have done in our life. Lord I trust You with all of my heart that you died for us in order to pay in full our sins which we forcefully did and we can’t have power to remove it but only you can take away our sins. Lord strengthens my faith in You that I may share your love and the gospel to others for your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen!
