The third episode of our series looks again at the nature of shadow or sin as that in the human being which hinders Divine Reality from being revealed. Humanity is still working to reveal the image of God in which we have been made. We can understand our shadows then as opportunities to grow and mature—parts of ourselves that need to be acknowledged, understood for what they are, and transformed over time. Paul teaches in Romans: 8 there is “no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” How does Christ Jesus relate to the sin of humanity? He demonstrates for us the path of salvation by taking up the cross, suffering, dying and being raised again by the Father. We can take up our own sin with Him and walk the same path.
