Unashamed of the Gospel
A Citizen of Heaven

A Blessing for the Exiles
February 5, 2024
I bless you to be
“Not ashamed of the Gospel,
For it is the power of God
For salvation to everyone
Who believes.” (Rom. 1:16, ESV).
It’s not about being unembarrassed
To share your faith
Or even being bold
To stand up for Jesus.
No, I bless you to be like Paul,
As commentator Douglass Moo
Rephrases the verse:
“I have great confidence
In the Gospel.”
May you know the power
Of the Good News.
May you trust the power
Of the Good News
In the face of all the bad news
And in a world that readily
Embraces the sparkling,
The moralistic,
The latest erudite ideology,
May you be unashamed
Of the simplicity of a bloody cross
And a redemptive Savior
And a unique Hope.
Be not ashamed,
The Gospel has all the power
You need.
