Guilt doesn’t go away with time. We may put it out of our minds, but in a moment the weight of that guilt can be brought back to the surface. The problem of guilt and what to do with it shapes our lives and our world, from the smallest decisions we make, to entire political systems and agendas. The Bible is straightforward about this basic human problem. It also comes to us with an answer that can truly take it away. That answer was an unsuspecting child among animals in Bethlehem so many years ago.
