It's funny how people are so comfortable with trying to convince others to listen to certain music, try different foods, watch a particular movie. Just listen you will hear it everywhere, Walmart, restaurants, work, parking lots, sporting events... "You have got to listen" "you have to try this""you really need to go see this movie" "you will love this or that." Never hesitation in convincing others to try and like the the things we like. Things that really don't matter.
When someone is deathly I'll, we even share our advice in what doctor to go see, which hospital is best, and even the medicines we know will help.
Sadly when it comes to the one thing that matters above anything else in this life we remain silent. Nothing in this world will matter when you take your last breath. No medicine, no doctor, no cure, no food, no music, no movie, no nothing in this world will matter when you last breath is taken except one thing. The only thing that matters is the truth of God.
When we promote, encourage and even attempt to convince others to try the things we like yet chose silence when it comes to Christ, we chose to be ashamed of the gospel of the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In doing so we place Christ beneath everything else in this world.
I am unashamed and I will proclaim the one and only thing that matters in this life, forgiveness and salvation only comes through Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
