We cannot excuse ourselves because we do not see them. We should hunt them up. Christ is the great Healer. He can heal us of the diseases that paralyze our souls. Whatever he bids us do must be done.
Sin is pregnant with evil.
Our calamities are almost all born of our own sins. Those who live debauched lives destroy their bodies. Most of those who live in constant bodily affliction can trace the origin of the trouble to their own acts. Sin will curse in this life and curse in the life to come. Jesus will save from the eternal curse of their sins all who come to him.
