As my pastor's wife says often (because we need to be reminded often) "the ground is level at the foot of the cross". The only person we should put on a pedestal is Jesus. Not our pastors, mentors, husbands, deacons, ministry leaders, or anyone else. We all sin and we all fall from grace on a daily basis. Some sins are more apparent than others. Instead of looking UP to our "pedestal people" look BESIDE for examples of those living lives of repentance and follow their lead by looking UP to the One who took our place and paid our debt and gives us the strength to overcome the sin that so easily entangles. Enjoy Good Friday basking in the freedom that Jesus gives on the cross.
