Psalm 51:2,3 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.  For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.  (NIV)

Do doctors ever get sick?  Do mechanics ever have car problems?  Do dentists ever have a tooth ache? Do plumbers ever have a clogged drain? Do Christians ever sin?

The answer to all of those questions is: of course.  If we catch the flu, we normally wouldn’t say it was the fault of all doctors.  If a mechanic’s car breaks down, we usually would not say that he is a hypocrite.  If a dentist has a wisdom tooth coming in wrong, we would not expect him to pull his own tooth.  If a plumber has a clogged drain, we would not think indoor plumbing should be avoided.

Sometimes we think differently about Christians.  Sometimes we think differently about ourselves.  I would say in each of the above cases a real problem arose.   The person in question is not immune to those problems.  However, that person should have a better understanding of the problem and know better on what to do about that problem.

Christians do sin.  As Christians we should be well aware when we do.  We should also go to the One who can diagnose our issues, the One who can forgive and restore and help mend our ways.
