Written by Kyle Norman, a contemporary rector, writer, and speaker.
Are you struggling to feel forgiven? Look to Jesus. It can be hard sometimes to turn off the voice inside us that says we haven’t earned our forgiveness. After all, we live in a world that tries to rank and file everything and everyone. We live in a world of merit and earning, one that says, “What goes around comes around,” and “You get what you deserve.” But Jesus reminds us that God’s love isn’t based on worldly principles. Jesus offers us a vision of hope and grace. You need not question your forgiveness. Like a Sentinel looking toward the horizon in the eager anticipation that the dawn will come just as it always does, you can live your lives in the assurance of God’s forgiveness, love, and redemption. Because all those things are held in the crucified hands of Jesus.
If you O Lord kept a record of our sins, O Lord who could stand. But with you there is forgiveness, so you are to be feared.” [Psalm 130:3-4]
