What happens when we give in to temptation? Yes we sin; however, so much more goes on than that. David's sin with Bathsheba is a classic example of the damage done when temptation triumphs. His sin took him farther than he meant to go, cost him more than he meant to pay, and kept him longer than he meant to stay. Isn't this the way sin works in our lives as well? This story isn't just a story about the triumph of temptation, but it is also a story of grace and forgiveness and repentance.
