“A live body is not one that never gets hurt, but one that can to some extent repair itself. In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble—because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time

Fascinating, putting into elegant words many thoughts I’ve had before . Notable: Christianity doesn’t work unless people feel there is a need to repent and therefore that they have done something wrong
