“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?”
I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God — the public acknowledgment of Jesus in the face of persecution constitutes the act of discipleship that the Son of Man will reciprocate at the final judgment. The social pressure to deny under interrogation is the testing of the same loyalty that privately calls Jesus Lord.
