welcome to the light

Wednesday October 28^th, Romans 3: There is no difference, ²³for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. We sometimes lose our focus on that all have sinned and fallen short part. There is a human tendency to point to the other and at least in the back of our minds thank that perhaps they have sinned just a bit more than we have. In the realm of perverted self help that we are all quite capable of, it, at least temporally helps us feel better. That is until we step into the light. In the light, all our attempts at rationalization, scapegoating, and other means of self help salvation are seen for what they really are. In the light of Christ however, even they can be forgiven. Christ has come, welcome to the light.
