"Repent, for the kingdom of God is near." - Matthew 4:17
Every day, we experience certain kind of struggles in our lives. Sometimes, we start our day so good but end it as bad as it could ever be. There are times when we feel so low and times when we feel so awesome. I guess that’s just the real concept of life. We don’t really know when things will work out and when things will get messed up. Every day, we sin. Sin has been always part of our lives. Remember: We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners. Basically, we were born sinners and that’s why we sin. But sinning differently doesn’t make us any better or less than any other person. In school, they taught us the concept of sin – that there are different types of sin: mortal sin, venial sin, original sin. I know all or most of us have heard about these stuff. But what is it that needs to be emphasized really? In the Gospel, Jesus said, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is near.” Knowing that we sin is not the main gist here. It is what we do about it.
