Sunday's scripture lesson

"The Apostle Paul" by Rembrandt


Romans 7:15-25a

"Does anyone not feel the depth of moral conflict Paul described in this passage? He didn't put it in modern pyscho-babble such as we might use; but he made it perfectly plain how intense the conscious struggle of the will becomes when we face temptation, or unconsciously when we just want our own way. He made equally plain the only true resource for freedom from the guilt of our failure to resist temptation - the grace of forgiveness through Jesus Christ."  - David Sherman, from Midrash
