Evening: Psalm 27; Romans 8:1-11
Paul describes ‘sin’ like this - ‘the good I want to do, I don’t do; the evil I don’t want is what I do.’ Most humans carry guilty burdens from sometimes behaving badly in life without intending to. This is part of the story of our humanity. But, says Paul, on the Cross Jesus bore the guilt of those who choose his Way (those who are ‘in Christ’). This was not to relieve their burdens so they could continue behaving unconsciously and badly, but to free them to live well, not by their own strength but guided by the Spirit.
