Suffering Other's Sin

I awoke this morning with a profound urge to pray. I found a very personal answer to a question in this....

"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit." ~1 Peter 3:18 NIV

It is easy to see the sinfulness in others. not so easy to suffer for others in spite of that sin. That is righteousness.

We do not have the righteousness in us, it is only because of Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit that we can suffer other's sin. We talk about judging others, but what is really at hand is suffering through another's sin while battling our own sinful response.

The human condition after the Fall is that sin begets sin.  A vicious cycle
