Sin weighs heavily on us, bringing consequences and hurt. But in Psalm 38, we see both the depth of our need and the richness of God's mercy. As we reflect on this passage, we’ll explore how the Law reveals our sin, the suffering Jesus endured on our behalf, and the incredible gift of forgiveness He offers. Join us as we turn to Christ in repentant joy, knowing that He has made haste to help us.
