Born Wicked

An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked. Proverbs 29:27

The proverb for today's verse might explain why you are at odds with someone. My prayer for us is that we are found on the righteous and upright side of the proverb, and not among those others. What am I saying? Would there be any doubt? If I may take us back in time just a little bit, some a little bit more than others, each of us were born into the wicked and unjust side of things. It wasn't your fault or mine, it simply came as an inheritance with our human birth. Along came Jesus and He told Nicodemus in John 3 that each of us must be born again. That was the only solution to the little problem we were born into, and it confused Nicodemus mightily. Without the Bible and discipleship, it would confuse us quite as thoroughly. Born again? Was the man trying to be funny? Praise God that His Son Jesus knew exactly what He was saying and exactly what the born wicked needed for salvation. And He did it too!

Rejoice in our Lord Jesus!
