Lamentations 1:14 My transgressions were bound into a yoke…
Don’t you hate it when you come to confronting sin in the Bible? Wouldn’t it be so much more enjoyable if we could just forget about them. Yet, that is not the theme or the thread that runs through God’s Word. The Psalmist wrote “My transgressions are ever before me and against you and you only have I sinned.” He wasn’t ready to defend his sin, or to blame someone else for it or pretend it wasn’t bad. No one really wants to admit that they sin or that there are in some way not good, but we are. If we weren’t; what need would we have for a Savior! “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” John 1:29.
