The Judgment on Sin

Exodus 17:1–7

When we take a close look at Exodus 17:1-7, we see how wrong it is to belittle or degrade any group of people, reminding us that everyone has the capacity for both good and bad actions. Sin is depicted as a deep inner conflict within our souls, which happens when we lose our focus on God. This often leads us to misjudge the cause of evil, like blaming hardships on God. The story ends with a powerful reminder that Jesus willingly faced human suffering to give us peace and strength to get through any tough situation.
