➤ Is Jesus Ashamed of Me? 🫣

The short answer is ‘no.’ 🚫

And the long answer is also ‘no.’ 🚫

In Luke chapter 15, Jesus tells the parable of the lost sheep that he carried home on his own shoulders. 🐑

And he said, “Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

When sinners receive forgiveness, all of heaven sings. 🎶

And so, maybe you’ve done some things that…

➤ Are sinful
➤ Make you blush
➤ You hope no one ever finds out about

And so you think the God who is perfect would blush at it too.

But instead…

✅ He bleeds
✅ He dies for you
✅ He sheds his life
✅ He carries you home on His own shoulders

And all of heaven sings, because Jesus is not ashamed of you. 😇🎶

❤️ Jesus forgives you
❤️ Jesus loves you
❤️ Jesus saves you

And in that forgiveness, there is no shame left at all. 💯🚫

He bore it all on the cross for you. ✝️

The only shame Jesus finds is when you insist on carrying the guilt and the sin yourself.

Don’t do that.

He died on the cross for you. ✝️

Your sins are forgiven. ❤️
