Some people – like the Pharisees – see themselves as free when they are actually shackled to sin and evil. Their sin needs to be confronted to save them rather then be condemned. This begs the question ‘How do I confront the sin of others in my life?’ Once upon receiving the grace of God we are freed from the shackles of sin, so that the effects of that grace and love should just bubble over and want to come out. Those who reject Jesus in this life have no hope after death.
The life that came to this world in the person of Jesus is the inauguration of God’s plan of redemption. Our sins are not written in the sand but rather in the Book of LIFE.
