Jesus said to his disciples: "I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God. But whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God. "Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they take you before the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how and what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say."
Consideration: We are to have the courage to speak the name of Jesus to all people without reservation. As the disciples were called by Jesus to follow and to proclaim him as the Christ, so too are we to follow their example of faith, hope, and trust in the Lord; and with love do the same. Amen.
