Jesus is teaching.
Jesus said to the Twelve: “Fear no one. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.”
We are called to proclaim the teachings of Jesus and not to hide them out of fear of others.
Holy Scripture teaches:
The wisdom of your God, which you possess…you are to teach any who do not know them.
Ezra 7:25
When we proclaim the Lord Jesus, we see the victory of the cross through service, love, and sacrifice.
