Lesson from David & Peter's Repentance

O Lord, 
to us belongeth confusion of face . . . because we have sinned against Thee.
Daniel 9:8
 
"A deep sense and clear sight of sin
--its heinousness, 
--and the punishment which it deserves, 
should make us lie low before the throne. 
 
We have sinned as Christians. 
Alas! Favored as we have been, we have yet been ungrateful: privileged beyond most, we have not brought forth fruit in proportion. 
 
An unpardoned sinner sins cheaply compared with the sin of one of God's own, who has had communion with Christ.
 
Look at David! Many will talk of his sin, but I pray you look at his
repentance, and hear his broken bones, as each one of them moans out its dolorous confession
Mark his tears, as they fall upon the ground, and the deep sighs with which he accompanies the softened music of his harp
 
Look, again, at Peter! We speak much of Peter's denying his Master. Remember, it is written, "He wept bitterly." Have we no denials of our Lord to be lamented with tears? 
 
My soul, bow down under a sense of thy natural sinfulness, and worship thy God. 

Admire the grace which saves thee—the mercy which spares thee—the love which pardons thee!" Charles Spurgeon
