What's the most important thing to know about our sin? It's true that sin has consequences in this life. It's also true that our sin causes us to lose credibility with those we might want to influence. But, one thing is bigger than all that. We all have one thing in common. None of us is perfect. Another less comfortable way of saying that is that we're all sinners. Saying "I sinned" doesn't feel as bad saying "I'm a sinner", does it? This week we talked about how, from God's perspective, just one sin is enough to make us dirty. It's like this: one stain is enough to ruin our favorite shirt. Even though we love that shirt, We don't want to wear it with that stain on it. So we have a choice. We can either throw it away or we can give it a good deep cleaning. Clearly cleaning is better. So, God sent Jesus armed with His bottle of Shout.
In order to be saved, first we have to recognize that we need a savior. We have to recognize that the shirt is dirty. How do you see your favorite shirt? Is it cleaner than the other shirts in the closet? Or is it time to "Shout it Out?"
