For the Lamb... We Surrender All
7/14/2018
Sex, drugs, pride, greed, laziness, introspection, unforgiveness...
These are all the same thing — all “Esau” issues. We can ignore or justify these inclinations or habits, or believe wrongly that God will “understand.” Or, maybe God will “punish” us enough that we’ll stop wanting to sin.
The Truth is that Truth must guide us, not feelings or desires or others’ words or deeds. We’re responsible to willingly walk in the Light and “call on the name of the Lord” - “and when our heads and hearts are on straight, strengthen our brothers and sisters,” as Jesus told his friend and colleague Peter.
There is NO bad Ending to that Story.
For the Lamb, we surrender all. Not religion, guilt, fear, or license. Just our Companion and Deliverer, Jesus. 11:42 a.m.
