God and Shame

There’s a story that I’ve been told again and again. It’s simply this, Jesus takes on all our shame through his death on the cross. Sin and shame are synonyms. And yet, so often, we turn that around and make the whole Christian endeavor about feeling more shame, about burdening ourselves with shamefulness disguised as humility or worse, love.
