A few weeks ago, I walked by a literal fight between a Chicago Cubs fan and a Chicago White Sox fan, and it was incredible to see how convicted they were that their team was correct. We can easily be convicted of many things like that – sports, politics, or whether the toilet paper roll is over or under. It’s over. When it comes to saying grace in public or talking about Jesus to our friends, complete silence. In the Gospel today, Jesus clearly says, “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will acknowledge before the Father, and whoever denies me before others, I will deny before the Father.” Here is Jesus Christ yearning and desiring us to be convicted of him. Let this Sunday be the first moment we always acknowledge Jesus before others. He is the way. He is the truth. He is the life. There’s nothing more important than being convicted of Him.
