The Greater Priority
"If your hand makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you
to lose part of your body but have life forever. That is much
better than to have two hands and go to hell. In that place
the fire never stops. If your foot makes you sin, cut it off.
It is better for you to lose part of your body but have life
forever. That is much better than to have two feet and be
thrown into hell. If your eye makes you sin, take it out. It
is better for you to have only one eye but have life forever.
That is much better than to have two eyes and be thrown into
hell. The worms that eat the people in hell never die. In
hell the fire is never stopped."
-- Mark 9:43-48 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Sin, and leading others to sin, should be avoided at all costs. Being
God's pure people is vitally important. So Jesus uses very powerful
words and imagery to forcefully drive home his point. Sin and causing
others to sin must matter tremendously to us.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father in heaven, I confess that the lack of concern the world around
me has about sin sometimes infiltrates my own thinking. Please dear
Father, not only forgive me, but also stir my heart to yearn for
holiness. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
