Don’t deny Jesus Christ

When you are baptized
You are marked with the sign of the cross and become a follower of Jesus.

Don’t downplay your principles or abandon them
What you say publicly — more than what you say privately — reveals who you truly are.

Jesus asks you as He once asked Peter, "Do you love me?"
Can you answer, "Yes Lord, You know I do."

It is easy to harshly judge the apostle Peter for denying that he knew Jesus. But think of the times you didn’t want people to know that you were a Christian.

Think of when you avoided giving an honest answer to a moral question. You were afraid to lose a friendship. You didn’t want to be unpopular. Yet your silence signals, “I do not know this Man, Jesus.”

Stating your position as a Christian is not easy
Our failure to publicly acknowledge Christ is understandable. It takes courage to go against the crowd.

If you tell people that premarital sex, adultery, abortion and the practice of homosexuality are contrary to Christ’s teachings, you will be unpopular. If you say that only Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, you will be considered intolerant.

If you are a follower of Christ...
expect some conflict with our secular society. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the courage to tell the truth, to make your voice heard and to be the person you claim to be... a follower of Christ Jesus.
