Scripture: Mark 7:1-7,20-23, Romans 12:2, Colossians 1:28, Philippians 3:12-13, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Hebrews 12:2, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 10:14, Perfectionism and good behavior are masks we wear in order to cover up – cover up our brokenness, our disfunction and our sin. Jesus invites us into a life of grace, not perfection. Grace sets us free and touches the real issues that lie beneath the masks. Grace leads us to Jesus who became perfection for us so that we can quit trying to be perfect and to start living fully in the gift of forgiveness that God offers in Christ!
