365.25 - Day Three

A segment from a massive stained glass window at First Presbyterian Church in Corpus Christi.

Over lunch, I joined up with my wife to co-lead a class on spiritual classics. Today's subject was John Wesley's pastoral writings about sin.

Memorable Wesley quote:

"Why are you afraid of your past? For there is no condemnation of past sins 'for those who are united in Christ Jesus' (Rom. 8:1), when the 'law of the Spirit has set you free'(Rom. 8:1). O you of little faith! Even though your sins were once more in number than the sand, so what? you are now in Christ Jesus! 'Who will be the accuser of God's chosen ones? It is God who pronounces acquittal; then who can condemn?' (Rom. 8:33)."
