It was late in the evening when the corpse arrived. We were
expecting it, for sooner or later, everybody ends up here. It’s just a matter of
time. After all, this was Mortuary.
The corpse stank and the stench, unbearable and
repulsive. It was an indication of the decay and highly decomposed state of the
corpse. The corpse was laid on the examination table and as the body bag was
zipped open, we were shocked to see of what lay before us. It was obvious at
the outset that the victim had died a cruel death. The victim was tightly tied up
with the ropes of Religion and the cellophane tape of Tradition was stuck over the
rope to ensure death.
After hours of a painful slow process, the rope and tape were
finally cut open and we were witness to a body ridden with maggots and fungi, the
decomposition accelerated by the lack of oxygen caused by the ropes of Religion
and tape of Tradition. The maggots of Sin and fungi of God-hater ate away the
victim.
As we sliced open the cadaver, out spouted the worms and
maggots of sexual immorality and adultery, idolatry, lie, murder, hatred, envy,
drunkenness, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, heresies, sorcery, evil
thoughts, thefts, blasphemies, hypocrisy, love for money, disobedient to
parents, traitor, etc.
Having found the answers to how the victim died and what
caused the death, the corpse was fit only to be thrown out in the furnace to be
burned forever.
Sin corrodes, infects, erodes, destroys, corrupts, causes decay and decomposition. Sin impacts our countenance, health, well-being, relationships, everything that matters to life. It destroys God's relationship with us.
Jesus said, "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies."
