O for a proper view of sin today! Joseph had risen to the point was he had total control over Potiphar's house. The only think held back from him was Mrs Potiphar. One day Mrs Potiphar asked Joseph to come and have relations with her!
Many men, even men of God would have been tempted. Sex is a strong drawing factor. Joseph's was stunned and shocked at the thought. “How can I do such a wicked thing? How can I sin against God?
Joseph had a proper view of sin. He knew a couple of two things about sin that we often neglect today. He did not even have the benefit of the law, yet he KNEW -
- It is a GREAT wickedness
- It is against God.
How lightly the world sees sin today. How lightly God's people see sin today. We always have an excuse for our actions. It is always someone else's fault. Lord, give us the view of sin that Joseph had. Remind us that sin is wicked, and that though others may be affected by it sin is against YOU. How can we sin against You after you gave your son for us?
