“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell...
And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled...
And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where “ ‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’ (Mark 9:42, 43, 45, 47, 48 NIV)
Wow, strong words from the Prince of Peace! Why? A reminder of how powerful the impact our life example is on others—for good or bad. When our life example causes others to falter, it calls for radical surgery—not physical, but of the heart. ©Word-Strong_2014
