We are all the same. II Corinthians 10:12 voices our mistake when we compare ourselves to ourselves in order to attain an upper evaluation over anyone else.
I suppose it is easiest for all of us to compare sins. We aren't as bad as.....(you fill in the blank)....for we have/never would do that.
The proper comparison for each of us, my opinion, is to look upon the cross. When we note Jesus squirming and shifting in effort to avoid suffocation, a new message is thrust upon mankind. When he took his last breath and gave up his spirit, the world literally went dark for three hours in mid-afternoon.
The reason?
All of our sins had been grouped into one category; sin. All of them were regarded as enough to choke the Son of God to his death.
Lest we become irritated with some "sinner" out there; it is best to keep those logs out of our own eyes in order to be more efficient in offering assistance; rather than contributing to Jesus' last gasp.
