Some people deal with guilt by deflecting it. They blame other people for their failures and faults and shortcoming. They blame their parents or their environments. This techniques goes all the way back to the garden of Eden when Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. But sooner or later, all these techniques fail, and we find we can't escape the consequences of our own sinfulness and guilt.
Guilt is the corrosion of the soul.
We can't drown it, deny it, or deflect it. We can only dissolve it in the blood of Jesus Christ. Luke 24 is my favorite chapter in the Bible. It is the chapter in which Luke the historian tells his version of the Easter story including the fabulous story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. And here, in the last verses of this resurrection chapter, Jesus appears one final time to his disciples prior to his ascension and he gives them his great commission.
