Don't be Ashamed

2 Nephi 7:5-7

"The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiter, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. I hid not my face from shame and spitting. For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be confounded. Therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed."

Jesus Christ knew that His Father was with Him. He willingly gave Himself up to be mocked and harmed because He knew He would be blessed of the Lord. Nothing the world did to Him mattered. It's not the world that lasts; rather it's the gospel that is eternal. Why be ashamed and hide? We should open up and stand up for what is right. Christ did.
