It’s Our Responsibility

When we sin against another, the last person we want to go to and ask forgiveness from is the one we’ve sinned against. Often, we look to others to help us salve our conscious and absolve us from the sin — God, a friend, a priest, those in authority. Judas did something similar, “When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility” (Matt 27:3-5 NIV).
