Your Sin Will Find You Out

Tiger Woods TV Ads Disappear After Reports of Affairs Update2 – Bloomberg.com.

I’m a bit late to the ball on this one, but Tiger’s travails provide an excellent illustration of a key Christian concept. Your sin will find you out (Numbers 32.23).

Tiger lacks integrity.  He presented one public persona while he was really a different person.  In his apology he even stated,

he let his family down with “transgressions” and hasn’t been true to his “family values.”

Now he is paying the consequences of his actions.  Lost contracts, ruined reputation, etc.  This should be a warning to those who believe they can hide their sin.  Sure, we can hide it for a time, but eventually our sins are known.  Perhaps we’d do well to consider the consequences of our secret sins, if they were to become public.  Then, maybe, we’d find repentance and grace to heal us.
