When we imagine we’re living an evil-shunning, virtue-practicing, morally superior Christian life, the problem is not that our halos are too small, but that our heads are too big.

The Law gets a bad rap. There is certainly a negative component to the Law. The work of the Law is very different than the work of the Gospel.

The commonly accepted wisdom is that we feel guilt over what we’ve done and we experience shame over who we are. If guilt is the blemish on our face then shame is the cancer in our heart. It’s deeper, harder to dig out.

He always puts our life and salvation first. He’ll never accept our defeat. He’ll never quit on us. He’ll never leave us fallen and alone.

Nicodemus, like us, does not really have phantoms and dragons in his head. He has just one demon, one virus, one malady: he lives in fear.

What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with God? And what words, then, do I pray?

There are a few occasions in the Bible where the curtain lifts, and we get to peer into the inner workings of the Divine Court.
