At last weekend’s Challenge Conference here in Tassie, Phillip Jensen gave a very vivid illustration about sin:
We are like fingernails: we live in dirt all the time. Dirty under fingernails is neither here nor there.
But if you get dirt in your eye, even a small amount, it is very painful. We are like fingernails, whereas Jesus is like our eyes: totally intolerant of sin.
