For Every Sin

Most of my ideas kind of branched off from the video, so watch it first.

Today was normal, it was fun. I had lots of fun with my friends. We just chilled. We enjoyed each others presence. We jokingly hated on each other while playing some Resident Evil 5 (weird game by the way).

At least, it felt normal.

After I got home and was done for the day, I did my usual facebooking for something interesting or something funny posted. I found that interesting post through a video.

That video really hit me. Hard. I know every day I sin, and I know every day I say, "I'm sorry God, I'll try to not do that again" and every day I repeat the process. So much in fact, that it has become a habit.

I think we, as Christians, have that mentality that we have time to repent, we have time to sin a little more, we have time to say we're sorry. But for every sin acted or thought out, it is an act of rebellion to God and his kingdom, and a slap to Jesus.

He died on the cross, thorns on his head, blood spewing out of his limbs, swords through his body, and this is how we treat him? For every sin, those throrns are pushed in harder, the blood becomes thicker, the swords rip through skin and flesh more. But for what kind of sin? Is there a difference in sin?

I remember from a sermon that a sin is a sin. It has no value between levels of sin. Sin is sin. All sin is equal. When I heard this, I was intrigued, so I went up and asked a question to him after the sermon:"If sin is all equal, is murdering somebody and lying to your parents the same sin?" And he answered, yes.

So if what he said is true, simply using "oh my God" or "g damn it" pushes those thorns a little bit deeper into His head.

I think the video can speak for itself.
