Proverbs 28:17
A man that
doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit;
let no man
stay him.
The Lord is
warning us not to hide and protect the guilty.
They may sense the need to run from judgment but we are not to assist
them in this. Everyone that does right
comes to the light. Some people don’t
want to come to the light because their deeds are evil and they don’t want
these things exposed. We don’t uncover
the sins of others as they seek forgiveness and choose to walk in newness of
life but if someone has done something and is running from its consequences, we
should not be privy to such a course.
Guilt has been given by God and it is an appropriate response for
sin. It drives the sinner to seek
cleansing. Let us not get in the way of
the work of the Holy Spirit in someone’s life.
The Lord loves them and will use their shame and fear to draw them to
His side – the side that poured out the last of His sinless blood that can
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
