Conscience Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. Romans 13:5 Cliff Edwards was the voice of Jiminy Cricket, lively cricket making conscience of Pinocchio. We dont have a cricket as a conscience, but we do have the sense of good and evil God-given. This is a concept that do not like modern man much, because you think that awareness, along with sin, guilt, ethics and morality, are things that belong in a distant land. Apparently, no one had told Wayne that he should not pay attention to his conscience. I tell them its history. Wayne does not have a job, which means that it doesnt pay the rent and debts, or to buy food. In such circumstances, Wayne did something sinful, dangerous, and illegal: was complicit in the theft of $ 3.688 a bank. Although he managed to escape without being discovered, his conscience not to let it calm. The day after the robbery, Wayne began to think about what he had done and felt so bad itself, which became ill. It was then that he decided to surrender to the police. If the history of Wayne had been part of a movie or a book, something it would have happened at this moment that would have made you change your mind. But in this case, it was God who made him see their sin, so Wayne looked for directions to get to the County prison and stepped, Yes, walked five miles to go to surrender and return the money he had stolen. It was one of those moments in which the angels of heaven rejoiced because they had repented sinner. We can also rejoice because no one was hurt in the robbery, because awareness of Wayne met his work... and the Lord triumphed. It is likely that Wayne has to pay his debt to society, but its debt before the father already has been paid by Jesus... as well as our debt has also been paid. And therefore also the angels rejoice. Prayer: Lord God, you give thanks for rescue to sinners as Wayne and as us. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
