Forgiven Much

Luke 7:36-50

In conversations with many of you lately, I get the sense that many of us are feeling that it is an increasingly challenging time to live as a faithful Christian. The worldview of our non Christian neighbors continues to move farther and farther away from a Christian worldview. We probably sense how much we’re not at home here: its tough to feel at home in a political party, at home in the schools, at home in the corporate setting, at home in the world of entertainment or social media.

We feel more than we have in our lifetimes that we are aliens and strangers and exiles here as 1 Peter 1:21 says. We feel what Hebrews says in Hebrews 13:14, that we have no abiding city here. We feel very much not at home in a world that couldn’t think more differently than Christians think.
