Sunday on Monday - March 23rd, 2026
This Sunday, in Romans 7, we saw that the law reveals God’s standard but also exposes our need for Jesus, who now leads us in the way we should live.
Paul points to the command, “You shall not covet,” to show that sin is not only about outward behavior, but inward desire. A person may look righteous on the outside, but still be guilty before God because of what is happening in the heart. That was Paul’s point, and it is ours too. We do not just need better behavior. We need a Savior.
The law reveals the standard, but it also reveals that we cannot meet it. It shows us that the problem is not just what we do. It is who we are apart from Christ. And that is exactly why Jesus came.
Jesus did what the law could never do. He fulfilled it perfectly, died in our place, and rose again so that we could be forgiven and made new. Through Him, we are not just instructed. We are rescued.
So what does that mean for Monday?
Do not run from what the law exposes. Let it lead you to Jesus.
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the root of your sin. Do not hide it. Bring it to Jesus.
Do not settle for outward change. Rest in the finished work of Christ.
