Someone saw a burglar kicking his own door in.  “What are you doing?” they asked.  “Oh”, said the burglar, “I’m working from home today!”  Oh my!  Who comes up with these things?  But the image of a thief stealing from themselves is powerful.  I see it every day…folks destroying their own lives…sabotaging their own future…kicking in their own door!  This, of course, is the very nature of sin and the natural condition of a depraved, fallen world.  We are ignorant.  Blind.  Stupid.  Foolish.  This delights Satan who is the Deceiver.  His lies are designed to offer pleasure for the moment and death for the future.  We’re told “The god of this age blinds the minds of those who do not believe so that they will not see the light of the glory of God in the face of Christ”  (II Corinthians 4:4).
