Exodus 37 & 38, Mark 8: 1-38, Psalm 35: 1-10
Mark 8: 38 (ESV)
“For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this
adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed
when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
In verse 8 from Mark 8, Jesus talks about how his disciples cannot
be ashamed of him and his words when they are surrounded by adulterous and
sinful people. If they are ashamed of him, then Christ will ashamed of them after
his resurrection. I find this verse to be applicable to Christians living in today’s
world. We cannot be ashamed of being Christians and loving Christ, even though
to love Christ and be a Christian in today’s world is not seen as a good thing
by the same people who uphold sins as good things. I find it so interesting
that the words from the Bible are still applicable to us in our modern day,
when our world is so different from world in the times of Jesus. What this similarity
does tell me is that the nature of people are the same today as they were in
the times of Christ, and the Bible can still be used as a guide for how to live
our life as people who believe in Christ.
