Actually,
there are probably a lot of bad things about lust. But the following, according
to one practical book, is one:
Lust treats
people like football players treat a football in a ball game. How does a
running back treat a football?
He
cradles it; he cuddles it; he risks life and limb to take that ball to the goal
line. But once that football crosses the goal line and he scores a touchdown,
what does he do? He will spike it. He'll pound it to the ground; he'll dance
around proclaim his conquest. Finally, when the game is over, he will ignore
it.
The
purpose has been served. It has simply been an object to accomplish a goal. If
you have been the object of someone's lust, you know how demeaning it feels.
Make no mistake; it is the
lust in the heart that drives one to dehumanize people. Maybe that is one
reason Jesus said, “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not
commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already
committed adultery with her in his heart (Mt. 5:27-28.) NLT
