The sin of what we fail to do!       

The sin of what we fail to do!       

We tend to focus on sins of commission-the wrong we do.

🎯But what about sins of omission—the good we fail to do?

In Christ’s parables, when someone was condemned, it was often over a sin of omission.

💥A man was put out of a wedding because he had no wedding garment

💥Five virgins were excluded from the wedding party because they’d no oil in their lamps.

💥A servant who buried his talent in the ground instead of using it, forfeited it

💥A barren fig tree that failed to produce fruit was cursed and died.

🎯 We may say, ‘But I’m interested in a deeper spiritual life.’

💥But the deepest spiritual life is one spent doing good to others!

🎯‘Then the King will say… “I was hungry, and you didn’t feed Me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give Me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite Me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give Me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit Me..

💥Then we will reply, “Lord, when did we ever see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help You?”

🎯And He will answer, “I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these My brothers and sisters, sisters, you were refusing to help Me.”’
