Today in the One Year Bible we read from Matthew 26:69-27:14. Peter denies Jesus. Judas betrays Him. Both are remorseful. Which kind of remorse leads to life, and which to death?
Peter's remorse leads him back to Jesus, to confess and be reinstated. Judas's remorse leads him to try to fix things himself, to despair, and to suicide.
When you're remorseful over your sin (and we all sin!), go to Jesus. That's the kind of remorse that heals.
God, thanks for teaching us the right kind of remorse.
