In our rush to talk about David’s sin, we often leave Bathsheba’s story behind. The way the Bible presents the story to us, Bathsheba is more the object David’s sin than a willing participant, caught up in something that she could not control. Yet she still suffered the consequences.
But this is the nature of sin: it is not just about right or wrong choices; it is also like a web or current that catches us and from which we cannot escape. It is the condition of creation. But God is with us even in this mess.
