Eros. ( Exodus 20 v 14 )

There are different sayings as to the word love,'Love makes the world go round', 'Love is blind',and there is a saying by William Thackeray which reads,'Love makes fools of us all,big and small'. There are a number of words in the Greek language for love ,one is Eros,it has the meaning of a sensual,even erotic sexual love.There was a mighty King,he was brave and handsome,being a king in those days,you could have as many wives as you wanted,and he had many. If he saw a woman he fancied, he took her,she became part of his harem,but it was not enough for him,the fact is for many it is not enough. So it is, they  turn to all sorts of  things ,to satisfy their unquenchable desire for sex,the thing is, if it gets to that state,it never will be satisfied.Well let us return to this mighty king,the king who had everything,good looks,etc,etc,one evening he was in his palace,it was warm ,he could not sleep,so he got up from his bed and walked around the roof of his palace.As he looked out, he spied a beautiful woman,  she was washing herself.,remember he was king all powerful,and for a moment he choose to forget,that with power comes responsibility,and accountability. He found out who she was,a married woman,that should have caused him to put the brakes on ,but Eros had got hold of him .What followed ,an evening of dissatisfaction,and dreadful consequences. Let us all learn from this true story,and yet it is ,if truth were told that many, sad to say are following in that kings footsteps,and finding to their cost,that there are no freebies,because sin, and that's what it was, has always a price tag attached to it.
