So he has no constraints or constrictions on time or actions, a feeling of freedom as temporary independence removes him from the daily domestic duty of relationship and reality. He takes an opportunity to give in to a selfish urge as the sensual draws him towards the forbidden delight of his own decisions and actions. His own time. His own agenda. No need for accountability.
How does he feel when the desire to please himself is juxtaposed against the martyrdom of a Nigerian Pastor and the jailing of a Vietnamese congregation. Fretting over the need to plan a Christmas family reunion and the evil of meeting air fares, whilst for the sake of their belief in a Saviour others have no family, home or sustenance.
Pathetic Western lifestyle. Comfort zone denying the reality of suffering all for the Cross.
