Summary
After three seasons and twenty-six episodes, the HBO series Euphoria officially ended last night. The show has been widely criticized for its pervasive nudity and pornographic content. While many Christians already avoid sexually immoral shows and media content like this one, this topic is still highly relevant—for me, for you, and for everyone else—for a reason I had not considered before writing this article. Today, we discuss three facts about sexual sin, the historical context of lust in the New Testament, and ask the question, Does sexual sin damage people and society more pervasively than any other sin?
