Bible Note: Hank Right you are. Interesting isn't how some want to get into a deep theological/philosophical studies on this. The answer is staring at us. When someone calls sin, sin hackles come up. People huff and puff, they expel great quantities of air but say little and insist we look else where for the agitation. Pharisees tried to blame everything but Jesus’ righteous declaration of sin for their anger yet we see from scripture as He kept confronting them with it, they only got angrier. The modern world will let you preach as much as you want as long as you don’t mention sin or define it. You can tell them all day of their need for Jesus and they will listen and nod their heads. But tell them why they need Jesus because they are deep in sin’s clutches and they will get angrier than a nest of hornet poked with a stick. EdB |
