Do you remember growing up, when you would do something that you knew your parents or guardians told you not to do, but you just did it anyway out of temptation? And what happened when your parents came around? The first thing that you wanted to do was avoid them.
Or, even worse, what happened when you did something to disappoint them, or anyone in charge for that matter? Or even, what happened when you disappointed someone you remotely cared about? Avoidance probably became your best friend, because back then, in your mind, you had a reason to hide, something to be ashamed of.
Unfortunately, there are Christians today who think of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the thing to be ashamed of to the world. They hide it, in plain fear and shame, because they believe this brings acceptance, which is what some are after. However, would you not rather be accepted by the Son of God, over the world? Think about it, as Christians, we have no reason to hide!
