The power of sin. ( Luke 8 v 26 - 39 )

Raymond Brown writes,' The terrible thing about sin - its awful power to go reproducing itself, not only in our own lives, but in the lives of other people'.There is no human way of combating sin ,we stop in one area and it breaks out in another area.There is no place on earth were sin is not present, and that's inevitable, for mankind is a carrier of this plague,and devastation lies in its trail.Some children inherit their parents illnesses ,not all, but all children are infected by the seed of sin from their father.Yes it is a terrible thing about sin ,and its reproducing power,nothing   can stop this. be not surprised at this, it is self evident,so many would challenge what I am writing,they speak of the nobility of the human spirit,they speak of the noble savage.  There is really no such thing as the noble  savage,but there are savages,and they are not all in the jungle.Everyday we read of people being knifed, wars still rage within this world.. Is there an answer?,yes the answer is Jesus,who can do, two wonderful things, the first thing He can do,is forgive us our sin when  we ask Him to be our Saviour,the second thing is,He breaks the power of sin, in our lives.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Amazing grace ,how sweet the sound,                                                                                                      That saved a wretch like me.                                                                                                                       I once was lost, but now am found;                                                                                                           Was blind but now I see.                                                                                                                                 ( John Newton )
