As we near he end of this half of the Church Year, we focus on the Church's Lord. Out of genuinely repentant hearts he expects fruit to grow. None will be given a free pass on the basis of their heritage or ancestry. If a tree is truly good, it will naturally bear fruit.
The Church's Lord Expects Real Repentance
As we near he end of this half of the Church Year, we focus on the Church's Lord. He is both perfectly gracious and perfectly just. He does not tolerate willful, deliberate sin, but calls us to turn from our wickedness and seek his pardoning love. May God's Spirit continue to work daily repentance in our hearts.
