‘Non-apologies’ 

(Please click on the audio link: http://proxy.autopod.ca/podcasts/chum/6/15257/good_news_066_aug18.mp3 for far greater detail.)

This discussion considers the following points:

1. Self-justification is a significant force in peoples’ lives - in my life and yours.

2. We long for someone who knows us and loves us to justify us.

Why does Jesus tell the parable?

Jesus tells this parable on His way to Jerusalem to die on the cross. He will die for others, not Himself.

3. Jesus justifies us.

4. The death of Jesus upon the cross pushes me, draws me, inspires me, shapes me, and secures me.

Prayer:

Dear God, please grow in me a repentant clarity about the power of self-justification in my life AND please grow in me a humble trusting knowledge of the greatness of Jesus to justify me today and every day for all eternity. AMEN

Rev. Canon George Sinclair
