The Christian life is a life of repentance. Christ again and again comes to turn us away from our self-righteousness and idols, which can’t light our way, to see the path He illuminates. We fool ourselves if we think there is ever a day without repentance on this side of Heaven! But Christ is so good and loving to come and turn us toward him again and again!
