Mat 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
We are sometimes tempted to hide our identification with Christ in this hostile world. Sometimes we fear rejection from those around us. This passage brings us a sobering thought. If we won’t be identified with Jesus here, neither will He claim us in that great Judgment Day. In that hour, only one thing will matter: Will Jesus claim us as one of His? Identify fully in this life as one of His, so there can be no doubt in that hour.
