What do Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Asajj Ventress have in common? While each of them enjoyed a season of being the prize pupil of a Sith lord, they were ultimately betrayed by the evil master that they had loyally served. Each of them were used, abused, and eventually cast aside once they became expendable because that is the way of the Sith. They were never truly loved or appreciated… they were simply a means to an end, an asset to be deployed when useful and abandoned when their purpose had been accomplished. They gave their entire lives to serve a master that never cared about them, and in the end they were all played for a fool.

There are many enticing sins in this world that may seem to offer pleasure for a season, but everyone from Samson to Judas who have taken a bite from that fruit only found betrayal and heartache on the other side. Our sinful desires will always promise love, joy and peace but any temporary benefits will always end in pain and regret. While choosing the path of following Christ and denying ourselves isn’t always easy, it is the only decision that offers us the option to serve a Master who chose to serve us first. Sin never loves us back and will always leave us high and dry… Christ loved us first, loved us best, and He has promised to never leave us.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:7-8
