Jesus' Face Day 62
Saying, "Jesus is Lord" is a prerequisite to knowing God's forgiveness and acceptance. Jesus promises support to those who speak about their faith, "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God."1 In the Early Church, confessing Christ was life threatening, but it did crystallize a person's relationship to the Son of God. It is also true today. John writes, "If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God."2
We often feel guilty because we are too embarrassed or fearful to share our faith. In avoiding the mental conflict, our joy and purpose drain away. We mistakenly imagine that we need to be eloquent and theologically correct, but God only wants us to tell simply what we have personally experienced. Despite our frailty, Paul encourages us that God "through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him."3 "His face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord."4
