It is in Christ and through the conviction of the Holy Spirit that we can identify, repent, receive forgiveness and find healing for the sin that so often bubbles to the surface as the undesirable behaviours that embarrass us. Behaviours that we try in vein to fix and fight in our own strength. (John 18:1-27)
We are to follow the example of our Lord as a people of compassion…
Romans is full of sinful patterns and today it is no different, for today we have the pattern and sin of double standards laid bare.
Jesus is left behind as a child in the temple, what does this story mean for us?
When we come to Christ with our mistakes and shame, our sins are both forgiven and forgotten by our ever gracious God.
