We usually think of repentance as a bad thing, perhaps because we associate it with guilt or shame. But repentance in the Bible isn’t that at all. It’s filled with joy because repentance leads us back to God. Change is possible for us with God’s help. We aren’t bound to our former ways. We aren’t compelled to continue in the sins of our parents. We are made new in the baptismal waters, given abundant life, and the heavenly grace and power to become the people that God created us to be. So rejoice, because God is calling us all repent.
