Scripture Text: Psalm 51
A Journey of Confession and Repentance
Planning and Packing
Psalm 51
Lent is a deliberate, specific time of readying ourselves to remember and celebrate both the death of Christ, and more importantly the resurrection of Christ.
We have to begin at a different starting point–that God’s hatred of sin is a direct manifestation of His love for us.
So, then, how do we deal with this problem of sin in our lives. We know; it is through confession and repentance.
And scratching the surface of confession and ignoring repentance almost completely is a dangerous way to live as a child of God.
I’m not going to dive right in to the Psalm today, I do want to lay the foundation for next week by introducing the background.
As we study the Psalm, and allow it to lead us to the cross and empty tomb, my goal and my prayer is that it would take us deep below the surface.
