The Religion of Penitence
Luke 3:3
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;


The only religion possible to man is the religion of penitence. The righteousness of man cannot be the integrity of the virgin citadel which has never admitted the enemy; it can never be more than the integrity of the city which has been surprised and roused, and which, having expelled the invader with blood in the streets, has suffered great inward loss.
