(Col. 2:20–3:3; Luke 9, 23–27)
Do not be ashamed to confess the Lord Jesus Christ as the incarnate Son of God and who redeemed us by His death on the cross, and by His resurrection and ascension who opened for us the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven. If you are ashamed, then He will be ashamed of you, “when He comes in His glory and the Father and the holy Angels” (Luke 9:26). Nowadays it has become a fashion in society not to talk at all about the Lord and salvation, whereas in the beginning there was only talk about these expensive objects. Where the heart lies more, the conversation flows more readily. Has your heart really begun to turn less towards the Lord? Judging by the speeches, it should be so. Some do not know Him at all, others are cold towards Him; For fear of falling in with such people, those who are warm towards the Lord do not start talking about Him, and the priesthood remains silent. And it turned out that speech about the Lord Savior and about our main matter - salvation - was excluded from the range of speeches accepted in society. Well, you say, can we really just talk about this? Why only talk about this? Everything can be talked about from this point of view, so that the speech will generally be shaded by the spirit of Christ.
Then it will be possible to guess whether Christians or pagans are speaking, but now you will not guess this either from speeches or from writings. Look through all the magazines, what don’t they write about? But no one wants to speak in a Christian way. Wise times!
