A recent copy of the cartoon “Family Circle “ by Bil Keane showed the four children gathered around a broken lamp. The caption read, “Okay, whose turn is it to take the blame?” Most of us are quite adept at the blame game! Trying to cover up for wrong doing has been a characteristic of human nature ever since Adam blamed both his wife Eve and God for their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, saying it was “The woman You gave me.” But every decision brings a consequence and we must all take responsibility for our actions. An Old Testament writer warned, “Be sure your sin will find you out.” And a New Testament writer commented, “Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess“ to God, some day. We reap what we sow. Thankfully, John was inspired to write, “If we confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
