The son of a famous American was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He pleaded guilty to reckless driving, a plea bargain that saw the drunk driving charge dropped. Two policemen, one an eighteen-year veteran and former vice detective, were arrested for using an escort service as a prostitution ring. They pleaded guilty only to obstructing justice, a result of plea bargaining that saw the more serious charges dropped. It is amazing what serious violations of the law can be overlooked in the prosecution of lawbreakers. What is an affront to even a primitive sense of justice — allowing felons to plead guilty to lesser charges — mocks the entire judicial process. No plea bargain can be made with unforgiven sin. It is never forgotten, minimized, or excused, and no allowances will be given for position, fame, or wealth. With the Judge that none can corrupt or impress, all unforgiven sins will be punished. Those who refuse to surrender their sins will pay a penalty. That is the threat of the cross when its forgiveness is refused.
