Dear friends,
Here’s something for 1 John 3:5 thought and prayer. In his classic study The Character of Jesus, Charles Edward Jefferson (1860–1937) said this about the sinless Christ:
The sinless Christ does not turn away from us, no matter how sinful we are. He says: “Come unto me. He that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out.” Without sin himself he can pity us in our sin, and is willing to wash away the stains. He is the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.
