> Ever notice when somebody sins or falls short in an area that we relate 
> to, we're quick to give thanks that Jesus' blood covers all our sins! But 
> if that person happens to fail in an area where we're strong, often our 
> first inclination is to feel morally superior and want to deny them the 
> blood's cleansing power. Sin affects each of us differently, according to 
> our background and disposition. But regardless of the symptoms it's the 
> same disease, and there's only one remedy disposition. But regardless of 
> the symptoms it's the same disease, and there's only one remedy-the blood 
> of Jesus. Without that we're all in trouble: black, white, rich, poor, 
> homosexual, heterosexual, drug, addict and alchololic alike. Jesus' blood 
> is the only thing that makes forgiveness and a clean slate possible, 
> regardless of what we've done. The Bible says that Jesus "created...a 
> fresh start for everybody...through his death...Christ came and preached 
> peace to...outsiders and...insiders...treated
> us as equals...Through him we...have equal access to the Father...You 
> belong here, with as much right to the name Christain as anyone...He's 
> using us all-irrespective of how we got here" ( Eph 2:15-19 TM ). Don't 
> for a second think that you have unlimted access to God's mercy and 
> forgiveness, then deny that same access to your brother and sister in 
> Christ! The Bible says, "If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore 
> him, saving your critical comments for yourself." Why? Because, "You might 
> be needing forgiveness before the day's out" ( Gal 6:1 TM). In other 
> words, don't burn the bridge you yourself might need to cross some day. If 
> you're secretly harbouring a condescending attitude about somebody else's 
> failure today, you need to repent and allow the blood of Jesus to cleanse 
> you.
