Stuffed. Today at work we were treated to a huge meal for lunch. We had steak, chicken, smoked sausage as well as all the side items and dessert. After I stuffed myself, I proceeded to eat a large slice of strawberry cake. I had to stop and rest multiple times while trying to finish my piece of cake.
I've heard since I was a kid that gluttony is a sin. I admit, I've never put much research into it, but do know that any over-indulgence is wrong, so I'm sure eating too much is wrong as well. Believe it or not, this blog post isn't about gluttony or over-indulgence. Its actually about how much more impressed I am that Christ lived a sinless life on this earth.
In order to live a sinless life, Jesus never lied, stole, cheated, lusted, or did any other sin, including gluttony. This small revelation regarding over-indulgence impresses me all the more. I'm in awe.
As for the gluttony debate, here is a resource that I found. I'm not familiar with this site, so as with anything, be careful what you accept as fact. Read the scriptures and pray about it for yourself. http://www.gotquestions.org/gluttony-sin.html
