What is repentance?
What are images and words that come to mind when you hear the word, "repentance"?
The words "I'm sorry." can seem trite. I remember when my children were little if one hurt another he or she would try to get by with simply saying the words, "I'm sorry." It wasn't until I made him or her look at the other in the eyes and say it that I think he or she truly meant it. Once the eyes met and the words were spoken, the tears began to flow.
With the word repentance in your mind, take a look at the painting "Repentant Mary Magdalene" by Simon de Vos below. What does it say to you about repentance?
There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death.
but in the end it leads to death.
Proverbs 16:25
