We must train ourselves to deal personally with the unconverted. We must force ourselves to the task until it becomes easy. - Charles Spurgeon

thanks, that's clearing things up. But what is it then that Jesus is ashamed? Or doesn't confess us before the Father (in other parallel verses it states that).

Just before this verse Luke 11-14 to 12-12 we seethe teachers of the law dening again and again that Jesus was the Christ. So I believe Jesus was saying the same thing as John 3-16& 17, whoever believes in Me I will present to my Father, whoever rejects Me ,or denies Me , Gods wrath remains on them. As for witnessing, if you went out dening Christwhen asked about Him, I'd be worried .But fear of testifying is overcome by knowing how must God the Father adores you , or His perfect love that drives out all fear.Love in CHRIST tom
