A Sin By Any Other Name
.
.
To Joseph sin was not
just "an error of judgment",
nor was it a mere "slip of the tongue" or
an " indiscretion" in a "moment of weakness".
Joseph saw sin for what it was----
a serious offense against the Lord----
and he did not play down
the gravity of the offense.
God's moral standards are absolute.
It is only when we see sin as something
abhorrent to the Lord that we will be
motivated to make right moral judgments..
Calling sin by a softer name
will change neither
its offensiveness to God
nor its cost to us
