Return to the Shepherd of your soul. Know Jesus as your Savior. Ask him to bear the deadly weight of your sin. “Let us rejoice,” wrote the venerable Ambrose, “that the sheep that had strayed in Adam is lifted on Christ. The shoulders of Christ are the arms of the cross. There, I laid down my sins. I rested on the neck of that noble yoke.” Every lost sinner who rests on the crucified Christ will be carried home safe to God.
