What are the sins that Jesus hated the most? When we see sin like sickness, even more serious than sickness, we will learn to hate it more than we hate sickness. Jesus came to reveal the serious sins that ruin our life.

We want to start with the first chapter of Matthew's gospel, the very first book of the New Testament and the very first page. Matthew 1:21 gives the reason why Jesus was called Jesus when He was born as baby. "You shall call His name Jesus because He will save His people from their sins." The word 'Jesus' means saviour; One who has come to save us from our sins. So, if you want to know what it is to be saved from sin, you need to know what sin is. In the minds of many, many people, sin is a very vague concept; it is not clear what sin is. If you were told that you are being saved from leprosy or saved from tuberculosis, or saved from a pit in which you have fallen, or saved from failure in an examination, you understand what it means to 'save'. These things are clearly understood.

But when you say saved from sin, what do you understand? That depends on your definition of sin. If you think sin is just getting drunk, or gambling, or wasting your money and fooling around with other women and things like that, and if you don't do those gross sins, you will think that you are saved. You know, if you go by the Ten Commandments where there are gross sins like murder, adultery, theft, giving false witness in court to injure another person, and things like that, I think most people in the world could say, 'Well, we are not committing those type of things. We don't need salvation.' If those are the only things that are sins, a lot of people don't need Jesus at all. But when we read the gospels, we find that Jesus spoke about certain other sins which are not listed in the Ten Commandments at all.

So when we see the teaching of Jesus, we find that sin is not primarily external. I mean a mango tree is a mango tree even if it doesn't produce mangoes. It may be barren but it is still a mango tree. When it produces, it will produce mangoes. It won't produce apples or coconuts. In the same way sin is like a tree. Whether the fruit of it comes out of our life or not, doesn't make a difference. Sin is still there within, it is in the heart. Jesus said it is from the heart that everything comes out; evil thoughts, murders, and adultery and everything like that. That is why Jesus spoke about sin in the heart and to deal with it there, rather than after it has come forth. When we look at the overall teaching of Jesus, we find that there are certain sins which He spoke against which men don't consider seriously. In Isaiah 55:8-9 God said, "My thoughts are not your thoughts." That applies in many areas.
