On Sin – Depth of Sin

Greetings Dear Reader,

I love to bake bread.  The process, the rising, and the smell are joyous advents to the taste of fresh warm break with butter and honey.  I am also always amazed by the science of bread.  It only takes a small amount of yeast to create the beauty that is a fully risen loaf of bread.

The yeast feasts on the sugars in the dough and creates gases that increase the volume of loaf.  The permeation of the yeast integrates the effect throughout the bread.  This is a very pleasant permeation.  Sin, however, is not.

We do not realize the depth of our sin.  We do not really comprehend that we are so very far from God in terms of our sin.  It is the prime thing that creates our separation from him.  Failure to see its depth causes us to become complacent concerning our need of redemption.

I must realize every day just how far I have to go in the redemption process.  I do not address this to judge or measure others.  I have too much to attend to on my own account to be concerned about the sin of others.  This is a lifelong process.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn
