Week 4&5 Day 6 -Does the Defense Rest?
Read by Jeff Page Training
Reflect in your journal.
* Imagine a courtroom where Jesus the Lamb who was slain is seated on the justice bench. Today you are seated as the defendant.
* Take at least 5 minutes to write out in detail what the death of Christ covered for you. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory. Write in your journal the things you’ve done or failed to do that have made our world a darker place. Who have you wronged?
* In large letters write over the whole page of your confession ‘The Defense Rests’ to symbolize your decision to let go and trust Jesus as the Judge who was judged for you.
* As with yesterday this time of prayer and meditation is not all that is necessary. Just as Jared’s sister still pressed charges against her assailant, we may need to take further steps to “bear fruit in keeping with repentance” (Matthew 3:8). Some examples may include:
* Admitting to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
* Humbly asking God to remove our defects of character.
* Make amends with the people we harmed, except when to do so would injure them or others. (From The 12 Steps, Alcoholics Anonymous)
Throughout your day
Continue to spy on your anger. Write notes throughout the day. Then reflect for 5-10 min every night.
Pray
Lord, you are faithful and just. Thank you that the cost has been paid by the Lamb of God. I admit that the things I’ve done and failed to do have made our world a darker place, forgive me on Christ’s account. Amen.
