OUR PART IN THE PARTNERSHIP
Matthew 15:29-38
Jesus sets us actually free by his own transfiguring presence. With his blood he purges out the sin that enslaves. By his Spirit he kindles his own fires on the hearthstone of our hearts, and the flames burn up the bonds of selfishness and prejudice. His own presence mellows and then molds, constantly, patiently, quietly, until we are transfigured from the hurt of sin back to his own image. Our part is the full, thoughtful, habitual yielding to him.
