This week: The cure of the Gospel


Not everything is to be found on the Johnson and Johnson shelf at the drug store.

There is no pill  that can cure the sense of guilt that millions of people carry with them everyday.

Guilt for things done or not done; guilt for words spoken or unspoken; guilt for past failures and present situations.

Computed it comes to a level of self-accusation that needs nobody else to add to it.
I read of a prominent psychiatrist who said:

"Most of my clients  wrestle daily with the voice of unforgiven guilt." 

I have great news if you are one of those people.

 It is a liberating verse in the book of Colossians which says:

"Jesus took the indictment and charges laid against us, nailed them to the cross and pronounced us acquitted."

Believe that today and you will get a good night's sleep without the help of Johnson and Johnson.
