SEEKING THE HEART OF JESUS: A Heart That Forgives - Jesus and a Guilty Woman (a blog post for a sermon to be preached at Kenwood Church in Livonia, MI, on August 18, 2019)

Forgiveness and guilt stand at the opposite poles of the fabric of life.  They do not have to exist within the same universe, but guilt longs for forgiveness.  The flower of forgiveness blossoms in the soil of guilt. 

These two objects feel quite different.  The catharsis of forgiveness and the weight of guilt.  The freedom of forgiveness and the bondage of guilt.  The restoration of forgiveness and the isolation of guilt.

Are you feeling any guilt right now?

Are you needing forgiveness?

Are you?
