Peter was rebuked by Yahusha for being "ASHAMED," He said 'get behind me,' Shatan! for your thoughts are not those of Yahuah, but those of men. THIS IS BEING ASHAMED OF THE TRUTH/GOSPEL. WHAT DOES ASHAMED MEAN ? ashamed /əˈʃeɪmd/Submit adjective embarrassed or guilty because of one's actions, characteristics, or associations. "you should be ashamed of yourself" synonyms: sorry, shamefaced, abashed, sheepish, guilty, conscience-stricken, guilt-ridden, contrite, remorseful, repentant, penitent, hangdog, regretful, rueful, apologetic; embarrassed, mortified, red-faced, chagrined, humiliated, uncomfortable, discomfited, distressed; in sackcloth and ashes; informalwith one's tail between one's legs; rarecompunctious; blush to think of "she was ashamed of the way she had behaved" reluctant to do something through fear of embarrassment or humiliation. "I'm ashamed to say I followed him home" synonyms: reluctant, loath, unwilling, disinclined, hesitant, indisposed, slow, afraid; averse, “he was ashamed to admit it." Then Yahusha called everyone near and said “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his pole and follow Me”. But don't be ASHAMED. When we see where He went (to the shamayim), then those today in the Bride know their journey. Yahusha showed us the way that it is not to be: ASHAMED. Yahusha said “For whoever desires to save his life shall loose it, but whoever loses his life for Me and the Besorah shall save it”. WE ARE GIVEN A LIFE AND IF WE GO INTO THE WORLD AND FILL OURSELVES WITH THE WORLD, WE WILL HAVE ETERNAL DEATH. If we lose that worldly life and fill it with Turah and live accordingly with the Besorah, we will receive eternal life. But not to be ASHAMED. Yahusha said, what good is it if you gain the whole world (and this takes away your barganing chip for eternal life), and lose your own life. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his own life? ......then He said: FOR WHOEVER IS ASHAMED OF ME & MY WORDS IN THIS ADULTEROUS & SINNING GENERATION, OF HIM THE SON OF ADAM SHALL ALSO BE ASHAMED WHEN HE COMES IN THE ESTEEM OF HIS FATHER WITH THE SET-APART MESSENGERS. If you can see, we need to give up our lives here on earth and live the way of the Besorah to prove our love for Yahusha. He literally meant it when He said “pick up your pole and follow Me”. This is the meaning of life and if we want it to be eternal then Yahusha needs to see that our hearts are not ASHAMED.
