Come Away By Yourselves
Class on Christian Ethics: The Difference Christ Makes
Show Notes

First in a series of classes on Christian ethics.  In this class we discuss ethics in general and then focus on the difference that Christ makes to ethics.  Ethical concerns are universal to all men and women.  The difference between good and bad living, good and bad choices, is something that we all have to face and reckon with.  Christ offers abundant light and new possibilities for our ethical life.  In Christ the ability to be truly good is made available to all.  He offers a satisfying explanation of moral weakness and corruption while empowering us to not just be good but holy by sharing in God's own life.  Tapping in to the goodness offered by Christ entails a radical decision to live high ethical standards, a resolute sincerity about our failings, and a contrite appeal to his mercy whenever we fail.
