As we start a new year, we look to our past sins and say, “I will do everything well this next year, or at the very least I’ll do a few things better than I did last year.” Let’s look at what Dietrich Bonhoeffer had to say about that.
“The evil fruit of my sin keeps working without end. How can I bring it to an end? And yet you are no Christian – rather, you become hardened in your sin – if you cannot also say about your guilt: ‘He has done everything well!’ One thing it does not say is: we have done everything well. That is the last and most astonishing perception of Christians that they may finally say even about their sin: ‘He has done everything well.”’
