The Perp Walk of Shame

“Children, stay one in your hearts with Christ. Then when he returns, we will have confidence and won’t have to hide in shame.”

1 John 2:28

The "Perp Walk" is an unofficial humiliation of a person accused of a crime. Forced to walk in public, accompanied by guards and usually handcuffed, it gives photographers an opportunity to get pictures for their stories about the criminal proceedings. Usually, the pictures show a man or woman trying to turn away from the cameras to hide their identity. In our society the Perp Walk is perhaps the highest way to shame a person.

When Jesus returns there will be many who will want to hide in shame. They will suddenly discover that the Bible stories are all true and that Jesus is indeed the only way to Heaven!

If you don't want to go to Hell and experience eternal damnation and shame, then stay one in your heart with Jesus. Hold on to Jesus with all your might and let Jesus hold on to you.

Here is one way to judge yourself. Do you "set your heart" on things that Jesus loves as well? If Jesus were here in the flesh would He enjoy that movie with you? Did Jesus have an attitude like the one you have now?

Are you one in your heart with Jesus? If you are, then you will never have to hide in shame!
If you need to clean out your heart like you would clean out your closet, then by all means do it today!
