It’s Okay to be Bad
Week four of Experiencing Christ Within is all about sin.
The bad news it that we’re all sinners. No one is good! Not one. When God looks down from heaven, He sees us all the same. Prostitute, deacon, drug dealer, preacher. We’re all sinners.
Sure, there are people who do not serve God and who do good. I’m not denying that. But the difference is the standard or the measurement we use to determine good.
Dwight Edwards explains it like this:
“We can easily slip into a ’street level’ view of goodness. It’s like walking down a city street sidewalk and comparing the heights of those you pass by. A few people happen to be well over six feet tall and really stand out from the crowd. But if you were to look down on the scene from atop a hundred-story skyscraper, everybody on the sidewalk would appear equally tiny.”
