Philippians 3:3-8; Ps 105; Luke 15:1-10

Repentant sinners

Jesus made no bones about the importance of repenting – that’s you and me, unless we are without a sin to repent of. That is impossible, because we are only human. Paul was only human, too. He was once a Pharisee like those who challenged Jesus in the Gospel, and persecuted the early Christians, but he repented after Jesus challenged him on the road to Damascus. He repented because he had the ‘supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus his Lord.’ Do you have the same advantage? You only have to ask.
