Because of Jesus dying for us and rising again death has been robed of its sting so that the way of life, real life is through death. Paul talks about a daily dying to self in the Galatians reading. King David shows us that when dying to self does not happen then lust and greed takes over in the reading from 2 Samuel. God is holy and His wrath is directed against sin to remove it and to purify His people. God has wrath toward sin because sin destroys God's people as David realized. In the Luke reading we see the two lives set side by side. The Pharisee Simon is not dead to self. He is self-centered and judgmental. The woman is dead to self and alive to the love of God for her and working through her. This is the best possible life that there is for you and me.
