Dec 12 - matthew 18:7-9

if it causes you to sin...
cut it off and throw it away...

Jesus once said in this passage that if your
eyes cause you to sin then gouge it out
if your hands cause you to sin... cut it off
because it's better to enter heaven crippled
then to go to hell.

this passage shows Jesus pulling out the eternal damnation
usually we talk about heaven and how our
awesome afterlife is going to be, but
this is the darker side. this is what would happen
to us if we mess up.

in christ alone we will live eternal life
meaning going to heaven but we do need to know
there is a flip side to this. there is eternal damnation

let's wake up and smell the air.
I don't think just because our hand or something
is causing you to sin you should cut it off

but i think God is just showing...
this is serious... so wake up....

let's live a christian life and try our best not to sin
although it is impossible to stop sinning altogether..
