“Excuse us, but we must have forgotten to remove one of our inventory controls tags.” (It wasn’t me, I promise!)
Meaning - you are a thief but we don't say it this way because it's bad for our business. It may also be bad for your soul, instead of feeling sorry/repent for breaking the law, you may dismiss the charge and the shame assuming the tag-removal euphemism. Stealing-problem? Sin-problem? No, just tag-problem.
Because we are oblivious of how broken and spiritually bankrupt we are, we must check any sin-tag with God, early in the morning or before getting through the door of our daily routine.
“We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to Him and get what He is so ready to give. Take the Mercy, accept the Help. (Hebrew 4:15-16 MSG).
