Matthew 18:9 (NKJV) 9\u00a0And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sin is something that most people don\u2019t like to hear about or think about. It\u2019s not a pleasant topic no matter how we look at it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But Jesus took sin pretty seriously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s most common for us to hear all about how Jesus loved people and helped them. And this is true. But it\u2019s also true that Jesus addressed sin, whether speaking to crowds or one-on-one with someone He encountered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He told people to go and sin no more. He told some that He had come to call sinners to repentance. He addressed a crowd and reminded them all of their sins when He said \u201cLet he who is without sin cast the first stone\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, one of the most serious things He ever said about the detriments of sin is in the verse above. Jesus took sin seriously enough to say that if our eye causes us to sin, it is better to pluck it out and throw it away than to leave it in place and continue to sin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is something we all need to take to heart. And it\u2019s something we need to take a look at in our own lives. All too often we tend to look at others. But Jesus is telling us to take a look at ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Did He want us to literally pluck our eye out if it has caused us to sin? More than likely He was speaking figuratively. But the seriousness of what He said should still get our full attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God, please show us our sins. Help us to not only recognize them, but to acknowledge and admit to them. And to let You help us put a stop to them, one by one. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
