“If your right eye causes you to
sin, tear it out and throw it away. For
it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be
thrown into hell.” There are a few choice
sins that I have had quite a struggle with.
Everyone struggles with something.
This verse gives the best advice possible. Rather than let something that may cause more
temptation lurk around you, do away with it completely. Let there be not even a hint of
immorality. Otherwise, you are much more
susceptible to falling back into sin and separating yourself from the Lord.
“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for
those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in
heaven.” We all have people in our lives
that have wronged us. There are people
that we may not be too fond of. Yet we
are called to love these people anyway.
If we do not, and only love those who are easy to love, we are no better
than “tax collectors.” Even those who do
not follow Christ love the people whose company they enjoy or those that treat
them well. We would look just like the
rest of the world, and therefore ruin our witness to the lost around us.
