Mark 9:42-50
Jesus begins our series of verses today with talk about children. However it could also be typical of newly saved adults which we would call babes in Christ. I don’t want to give offense to either of them. However when I look over the world today, I see how many children are mistreated and mislead today. there is a lot to be said about this. I look at video games meant for children that I could call putrid and evil.
Jesus said children that believe in me. It is easy to bring a child to believe in Jesus. Jesus now brings a sentence on the offenders saying it would be better that a millstone be hanged about his neck and he were drowned in the midst of the sea. We couldn’t manufacture enough milestones for todays offenders.
I am leaving a little room for an offense of body parts. I suppose Jesus didn’t actually mean to cut off our hands and feet etc., but He did mean self control. We who know Him as Savior can control ourselves..
