Blame
Shame is the first fruit to borne out of sin. And the one that naturally follows is blame. Because when we’re confronted with our vulnerability, we go into self-protection mode, and that usually involves deflecting our guilt and shame in other directions. Like Adam & Eve, blame becomes our default reaction and we do it all the time. So, once again, we can be so thankful that Jesus does the opposite on our behalf. Instead of deflecting, he absorbs – the attack of the devil, the shame of sin and even the wrath of God – Jesus takes it and deals with it, for us.
