Have you ever seen the little child at a birthday party who has snuck past his parents and gone into the kitchen where the freshly baked birthday cake was? And what do you think this child does? Dips his dirty hands in the center of the cake and takes a big bite, hoping that no one would notice.
So, of course, the parents finds this and the child gets into major trouble. But even that is juvinile. Let us get a little more serious. How about the child that, against the instruction of his parents, is fascinated by the flame on the stovetop. He goes to touch it and gets a first degree burn. But all that he wanted to do was experience it for a second, right?
Or what about the teenager who desides to sniff cans just once, for the high. His experimentation ends up killing him and his parents find him dead the next morning? Guess what, all sin leads to some sort of death, for that is its wages. Even just a taste. When you find yourself wanting just a taste of sin, go for a whole meal of Jesus!
