13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, so that
sinners will turn back to you.
David writes this after his realization of his sin saying that when God restores the joy of salvation and grants him a willing spirit, then he will teach.
In John the
following conversation takes place between Pilate and Jesus:
Then Pilate said to Him,
“Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You,
and power to release You?”
Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been
given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater
sin.”
From then on Pilate sought
to release Him, but the Jews cried out. - John 19:10-12
In this text
Pilate and Jesus are talking and Jesus makes a comment about the "greater sin". As best as I read the text, Jesus holds
Pilate faultless, but condemns those who know who He is but decides against
Him. He could also be referring to the
devil as the one.
This is an
important consideration reflecting upon David's thought. The world view is to not hold one another
accountable for their decisions. It's
their decision, they decided which way they wanted to go, let them do whatever
"makes them happy". I wonder
who has the greater sin, those who wander off or those of us who refuse to get
involved to address this conflict so they are aware they are choosing evil over
good?
If they refuse, then they refuse, but they were confronted with truth. Some plant, some water, and others reap.
