How to deal with Guilt and Shame John Hewitt 

Guilt is a lot like an iceberg. You don’t see much above the surface, but if you really look, you’ll see it’s under everything. So how do you deal with a guilty conscience?
In Mark 2, this man has been paralysed, stuck, cant move forward and becomes a picture to us of someone in 'the depths' (Ps130). Imagine the guilt, the shame, the horror, the self-hatred. He’s plunged into an emotional and spiritual dungeon. And yet Mark tells the record of his rescue. There’s no good human explanation for how he got out. But he got out.
