No Room for Secret Admirers

Scripture: John 19:38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away.

Observation: I can’t live my live as a secret disciple of Jesus, other wise I’m of little or no use. My faith should be bold that it would hurt if I tried to keep it hidden. Jesus says if you acknowledge me before others I will acknowledge you before the Father. People around me shouldn’t have to guess if I’m a Christian, but know without a doubt who is my Lord and Savior.

Application: Make it known that I follow my Lord and Savior, Jesus and why. Tell others my testimony of how God saved my life and use it to comfort others. Be bold and honor God and point others to Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for loving me so much and protecting and guiding me each day. You are worthy of my very best, help me give it to you and fulfill the purpose you have created me for.
