WE ARE NOT ASHAMED Who are the most ridiculous – the people dancing for joy with the vision of God, or people posing unperturbed like the Sphinx, which was unmoved even when Napoleon fired a cannon at it? Flesh and blood are not granite to experience the Holy Spirit, and show no sign of it. What we have in earthen vessels is ‘treasure’, in order to show that this all-surpassing power is from God (2 Corinthians 4:7). Something totally strange will be evident to minds alienated from God, like Festus said to Paul ‘You are beside yourself. Much learning is driving you mad’ (Acts 26:24). How else could it be today when people experience the original brand of Christianity, and not some diluted, de-gutted, tranquilized, sentimentalized version of it? ‘You he made alive’, we read in Ephesians 2:1. Jesus is alive and we are alive. We are NOT ashamed to freely praise and serve Him.
