And repentance is not synonymous with feeling bad about one’s self. It isn’t rehearsing a feeling of guilt. Repentance is turning to face the God who never wearies of forgiving us so that our minds can be renewed and our broken hearts can be healed.
For if it is true that hearts follow after what they treasure, then Rob’s heart now beats in the world, and in you.
We are not imitating Christ, which would too easily devolve into a kind of works-righteousness role-playing game; we have put on Christ, we have been robed in him, he has taken on flesh in us, we have become his hands and feet, he has become our heart and our breath.
