“Mutthu ahommwa mwiiwa ompatjere waakula vale vahommawa.” (A person pierced by a thorn begins to remove it at the place where it went in.)
The point of this proverb is to say that one must start to fix a problem at the point where it started. We used this proverb to show that the key to understanding the solution to our sin problem is to look at the cause. If we know where things went wrong, we can figure out where it needs to be fixed.
