Identity Series: How do I deal with guilt & shame / not letting shame become our identity.
Reflection and Application
Zacchaeus is up a tree to see Jesus. But Jesus tells Zacchaeus to come down. In the end, Jesus goes up a tree (on the Cross of calvary) for Zacchaeus.
What stops us from allowing Jesus to deal with our shame in our place?
The Paralysed Man and the Bleeding Woman (both Matt 9) are healed. Jesus forgives the man and commends them both for their faith. As a result, onlookers are amazed.
How is your testimony of Jesus lifting you from shame, pointing others to Jesus?
