    The Great Physician’s Prescription for Guilt and Shame

    Your chest tightens. Nervousness develops in the pit of your stomach. You knew better, so how could you have done such a thing? Then fear kicks in.

    This story might seem hard to believe for some, but I heard it firsthand from a good Christian friend, whom we’ll call Sam. And upon reflection, it’s not far-fetched at all.
