The only thing more difficult than recognizing our own sin is having others point it out to us! Our natural reaction is to downplay it, deny it, and deflect the blame to others. Aaron did just that after creating the golden calf, but Moses shows us a better way forward. By recognizing the gravity of our sin, owning it, and taking responsibility for active repentance, we discover the path to forgiveness and growth through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
