This was one of those times when he had over-indulged. In this humorous account, I see a serious lesson. Christians are often confronted by non-Christians with accusations of sin, inconsistency and hypocrisy in our lives. The sad truth is that they are probably correct in most of their accusations. We are worthy of their reproach and rebuke when we do not practice what we preach and believe to be true.
Sin is ugly.
Sin is very ugly. Sin is very, very ugly. The nature of the offense is even more aggravated when we observe the practice among brethren in Christ. It is merely the leftovers of an unforgiving heart. It is a clear manifestation of a lack of love.
