Sin Is Too Hard For You To Carry
“Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.” (Proverbs 13:15)
Today’s Morsel: There are many people trying to carry their sin by themselves and all alone. But you cannot carry your sins by yourself. They are too burdensome and heavy. If you hold sand in your hand, it feels light. But put that same sand in a five-gallon pail, and you may need someone to help you carry it. This is how sin is. When you are playing in it and participating it in, it doesn’t seem heavy or burdensome, but once it becomes a part of your life, you soon realize just how heavy it is for you to try carrying it. You need someone to help you. And this is where Jesus comes in. Scripture says: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9) Peter told the people on the Day of Pentecost, when they asked him what they should do; he stated: “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” (Acts 2:38-39) You must understand that you cannot carry sin by yourself. You need a helper. Even Cain told the Lord, “And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.” (Genesis 4:13) When we understand that the wage of sins is death, we ought to be ready to unload them as quickly as we can and never take them up again. As Paul said, “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” (Romans 6:14) You must get dominion over your sin, or they will destroy you. And Jesus is the only answer.
Sing: I came to Jesus weary worn and sad; He took my sins away; He took my sins away. And now His love has made my heart so glad, He took my sins away.
He took my sins away. He took my sins away, and He keeps me singing every day. I’m so glad he took my sins away, He took my sins away.
Thought For Today: “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.” (Romans 6:6-7)
