fatberg

A 15-ton “fatberg” was recently dislodged from the sewer system in London. The bus-sized clog was a result of people pouring fat down their drains and flushing wet wipes down their toilets. This combined to form the huge glob that threatened the health and cleanliness of the city. Officials say that if the clog had not been cleared, serious sewage problems could have resulted.

Some people try to ignore the sin in their lives. Or they try to get rid of it in ways that are ineffective. This results in great spiritual harm. The only way to prevent sin from clogging up our lives is to let Jesus take it away.

“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”—1 John 1:8-9.
