Eckhart: what is sin?

Friday, June 7, 2024
Meditation:
    ... be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.
    —1 Peter 4:7b (NIV)
Quotation:
    The impulse to sin is not sin but to consent to sin, to give way to anger, is indeed sin.
    ... Meister Eckhart (1260?-1327?), from Counsels on Discernment, Counsel 9, Meister Eckhart: The Essential Writings, HarperCollins, 1957, p. 16 (see the book)
    See also 1 Pet. 4:7; Ps. 4:4; 17:4; 37:8; 73:2-3; 94:17-18; 119:101; Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; 2 Cor. 12:20; Eph. 4:26,31; 1 Tim. 2:8; Jas. 1:19-20
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, strengthen my resistance to sin.
