8 “And I tell you, every one who acknowledges me before others, the Son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; 9 but whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God” Luke 12:8-9.
This text has always challenged me to speak up about Christ when the opportunity presents itself when I am in conversations with others.
To acknowledge Christ, to share what Christ has done for you in your life, and to do this with others is just such a freeing grace of God.
So don’t be afraid of doing this. Share Christ in you with others. Acknowledge the love Christ has for you, love you have experienced and felt, and acknowledge Him to others.
Believe me, God will bring someone into your life today who needs your acknowledgement of Christ! And remember this: All of the blessings of Christ in your life come to you on their way to others.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
From the Bible:
“So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven” Matthew 10:32.
Here is an example of Peter acknowledging Christ before others:
“And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”
Acts 2:38.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change” James 1:17.
“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” Galatians 2:20.
