In Luke 19 when Zacchaues the tax collector stole money from the people, he broke those relationships. It have simply said "I'm sorry I took your money" was not even, Zacchaues had to make things right. He had to "fix the furniture" and he did so by paying back 4x the amount of money he took from someone.
Other week in the Discovery Studio I asked the kids to write different sins on a t-shirt. Like freqeuently happens, a kid asks a question and our "plans" take a different path. The question was great - "what is sin?"
So prompted a discussion on what they knew about sin and thought sin was. The typical responses were - lying, stealing, murdering, etc. But then a couple of the kids went further in their explanations and said "gossiping," "hurting my friend with unkind words," and "intentionally destroying nature."
I was so pleased to hear some of the kids express a deeper understanding of sin. That one understanding of sin involves "breaking relationship."
We have great kids at WW!
