I look at sin differently than some. I see sin as a disease that has infected us all spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and yes...even biologically. Sin is a disease that has infected the entire human person. We come to God because we're sick. We allow him to perform the procedure we need by repenting of our sins, being water baptized in His name and allowing him to fill us with His Spirit. We then show up for church regularly for treatments and checkups. Sometimes it seems our disease is in full remission, just like at the moment of our baptism...and other times it seems to flare up and we begin to get sick again. We're afraid of what the doctor's going to tell us if we go back to the clinic next Sunday, so we feel tempted to stay away. But if we go in sometimes we have to tolerate a painful procedure to get the built up infection out and we go into remission again.
It's like having cancer. You live one day at a time. Some days are good. Some are bad. Sometimes the disease gets the best of us. Sometimes we have stretches of health with the wind in our hair and the sun shine on our shoulders.
We're all sick. We're all taking treatments. We all need each other because when this thing flares up we don't need a judge...we need a friend.
