Sermons About Reproach
Go to Him and Bear His Reproach 2
What reproach did Christ endure? He was mocked. He was reviled. He was beaten. He was betrayed. He was spit upon. He was falsely accused. He was persecuted. And He was crucified. This is what the writer means by going outside the camp. To go outside the camp you put yourself at great risk. You now have left the security of the culture where to fit in is safety. You have now entered the Kingdom of God where discipleship lesson number one is that you are called as a Christian to suffer.

Go to Him and Bear His Reproach 1
What do you want your life marked out by? Compromise? Bowing down to the gods of this age? Or do you want your children and grandchildren and later generations to know without a shadow of a doubt that you were a Christian and you were a man or woman whom the world was not worthy of? After all, you are going to be remembered for something.
