Having removed our shame, we have confidence to be in his presence. (unlike Adam and Eve who hid from God)
28 Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.
Christ endure the cross despite the shame that it caused. Christ was not ashamed to be naked on the cross because he had no sin. But taking on our sin, he still endured it and didn’t regard it as something to stop him from following through till the end.
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Christ became sin though he knew no sin.
21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Sin causes Shame.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings. 8 They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
Christ takes away our shame and exposes Satan’s.
13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, 14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.
What will be exposed in you? Shame or Christ’s Righteousness?
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
