About this episode
We live in an age that is terrified of being watched. Men rig up tape over the cameras on their laptops. They are concerned, and sometimes rightly so, that some government agency or massive corporation is compiling a dossier on them. They fear a surveillance state that tracks their every move, purchase, and private message. But this modern anxiety is a pale, distorted shadow of a much deeper and more fundamental reality. The great irony is that men who fear the prying eyes of the NSA live as though the eyes of Almighty God are fast shut. The wicked man's essential problem is not that Big Brother is watching. His problem is that the Holy Father is watching, and He never blinks. Our text today is a stark and solemn reminder of this truth. It is a warning shot across the bow of every man who thinks his sin is a private affair, a secret little garden where he can cultivate his transgressions without consequence.
