Paying the Bills

Thursday. Gen. 37: 29-36.

Sin is self-executive. Every sin pays its own bills. There’s a hell of suffering in every sin. When sin is let into the life its brood — pain, broken hearts, broken lives, remorse, and worse — comes in, too, and some day will break out and run riot, unless a stronger power intervenes. Jesus’ dying is appreciated fully only where sin’s badness is fully recognized.
