For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus
our Lord.
You can't get arrested in Massachusetts even when you try! I am kidding, of course. Such
stories amuse us. But there is nothing amusing about our casual attitude toward sin. Sin
destroys people. Sin separates us from God, but it is Jesus Christ who brings us forgiveness and
hope in overcoming sin.
(Roman 6:23
NRSV)
A homeless man of Massachusetts wanted to be housed for a while in jail. He
first tried throwing a newspaper vending machine through a window, but the arriving officers
merely handed him a summons to appear at court later on charges of misdemeanor vandalism.
He next stole a $175,000 Western Massachusetts Bus Lines bus and took it and himself
down to the police station. After turning himself in and taking the desk sergeant outside to see
the bus, he was finally arrested. However, he was released 24-hours later on his own recognizance.
Dear Jesus, forgive me and give me hope in overcoming the sin in my life. Amen.
