Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
If you're embarrassed by me and what I teach in this messed-up world we're living in, then I'll be embarrassed by you when I come back in all my Father's glory with the angels.
Don't be ashamed of Jesus now, because he won't forget how you treated him later.
