Lent… a season of introspection, repentance and fasting. The Apostle Paul says this about his struggle with sin… “…the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good. … Yet, I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do - I do not do… but what I hate - I do. It is sin living in me that does it. … Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God – through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Rom 7: 7 – 8:17)
Friends, always remember… all our sins (great and small) – without exception – were laid upon Jesus. He took the judgement we deserve. He completed the work of the world’s redemption on Calvary’s Cross. Salvation is complete in Christ’s death and resurrection. Though we may stumble in our walk of faith through this world… Jesus is always there to pick us up… to continue the journey. (MT 28:20)
