Sin and Shame... Judgement Awaits...

I forgot how exhausting work is... prepping for science labs and projects...ahhhh...
Definitely looking forward to this weekend... =)

Matthew 3:1-12
John the Baptist Prepares the Way
John foreshadows the coming of Christ.  I am actually quite alarmed that John primarily ate locusts with honey.  John baptised all who wanted a new life  through the confession of sins. He became so famous that Pharisees and Seduces were coming to get baptized. However, John did not baptize them, instead he called them a brood of snakes!  Because they did not "practice" what they preached.  They did not turn from their sin.  They were only giving God lip service.

Romans 2: 1-16
God's Judgement of Sin
God does not show favouritism (11)...  This resonates with me because there are times when I wonder if God loves me less and if I am dealt "harsher" cards in life.  I know it is wrong to think this way, but it's my "humanity" that I'm fighting against.

God's law is written within us, many a time, we don't have to know the Word, to know what is right in God's eyes.  Judgement Day will come... This was interesting as I do inherinently believe God will judge us all and it doesn't take a literate person to figure out how to live a life that is righteous.
