Romans 3:21-30; Psalm 130; Luke 11:47-54

Righteous anger

Jesus pulled no punches in identifying and condemning hypocrisy. While his primary targets were those who held great social responsibility, no one is immune from the charge. Even the apostles showed this weakness, professing loyalty to Jesus then abandoning him! How consistent is my own behaviour? Do my words and actions always coincide? Today’s psalm nails our human condition against God’s mercy.
