Corporate Repentance - Robert J. Wieland

pathology can often identify these tiny enemy
organisms, our understanding of what sin is and
how it proliferates has not kept pace with the
world's knowledge of how disease works. Yet we
are near the time when Christ's intercession as
High Priest must end, when the virus of sin must be
forever annihilated. If any alienation from God or
enmity against Him survives beneath the surface of
our hearts at that time, it will proliferate unchecked
into total rebellion against God. Armageddon will
be the result— full scale, uninhibited enmity
against Christ without the restraint now imposed by
the Holy Spirit. No buried virus of sin must survive
the final crisis.
In essence, all sin is a re-crucifixion of Christ,
and its final display will be Armageddon. No one
can deny that sin has abounded in our modern age;
knowledge of much more abounding grace is the
solution.
The master inventor of all fiendish schemes
wants to embarrass Christ. If Satan can perpetuate
sin among God's people, he has his success made.
