Sin has a way of hurting us just when we are convinced that it must bring us some advantage. He illustrates this with a particular example in which, the ruler may find that he has become the target of the jealousy and plots of others, or that his power has exposed him to temptations that he would have been shielded from, or that the business of ruling is an unbearable burden to him This is just an example of how sin hurts us in unexpected ways. We are so naïve about sin that we imagine we can take control of it without incurring any disadvantage, but God ensures that what a man sows, he will also reap. This reaping certainly comes in the next world, but it comes to some extent even in this world. How many unexpected surprises sin has for us! Therefore it is foolish for anyone to think they can make sin their servant.
