Sin: Act II

There was an actuality programme on South African TV last week which surely was an unintended classic. An elderly Black couple had been defrauded of a large sum of money, yet the fraudster denied any wrongdoing. The actuality presenter was ever so deferential towards the fraudster, and gave him the benefit of the doubt, so that he could have proved he was the gentleman he wasn't. But what happened next, in Act II, revealed the fraudster. OBSERVATION: Sin is so often the same. In Act I, sin may be denied. But during the course of Act II, namely the acts which follow Act I, the sinner proves the sin. (Act II may usually be avoided or very much mitigated, I think, through healthy spiritual responses).
