Sins of the father

  

 

Dear Father in the heavens, please forgive us our sins.

We, as human beings, continue to experience the nadir of Earths cycles of time, despite the birth of Christ over 2,000 years ago. We have witnessed, again and again, across the globe, mans inhumanity toward man, woman and child. We wander in the desert of our own iniquities, blind, deaf and dumb. Even worse, we turn upon those who try to help. Often, the hand is bitten that tries to feed us. It is a fact, that those who are abused will often turn around to abuse others, and so it goes on. There are many such stories in the Old Testament. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, down through countless generations.

How do we move beyond this cycle?

In opening our eyes, ears and hearts to the lessons in the New Testament, we may come to understand that there is a way to move forward. We hear that through the Christ, we can be made new.  In forgiving those who have trespassed against us, we may hope that our own trespasses may be forgiven.

We may hope for the overcoming of the sickness of sin, by giving Christ room in our hearts; more importantly, to work and move through each of us. In working to heal others, we can find healing ourselves.

Dear Father in the heavens, please give us the ways and means to move forward in a new way, by allowing the Christ to work in us, through us.

We are The Christian Community, Movement for Religious Renewal.
