The tendency is always to blame someone else. Finger pointing. Blame God. Blame anyone but ourselves. It’s another escape for us. We really don’t want to give up that sin….the one that we own, that is our personal, private life. We have good intentions but we give way to temptation (it’s no big deal – right?). It’s just a little sin, but it’s ours….and we’re not alone – famous Christian pastors’ sins are exposed every year. What were they thinking, having sex with a sixteen-year-old and thinking that was OK because she never told anyone. Yet. We need to go through our own suffering and admit our sins and put them at the foot of the cross. They need to be crucified with Jesus.
