Remember in reading the Bible our goal is not more knowledge for the sake of knowing more Bible trivia. Our goal is life change: allowing the Bible truth to speak to our heart and change our behavior.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verses 12-13 - Do I have that passion for the lost?
Help:
- Verses 8-9 - The point is not the mutilate yourself. If I rip out my eye, I'm still going to be able to think lustful thoughts. The point Jesus is making is this: do whatever it takes to get rid of sin in your life.
- Verse 10 - This is one of two verses in the Bible that seem to allude to the idea of guardian angels.
- Verses 15-17 - This is not for everyday sin, but for serious sin.
- Verses 21-35 - This is hard, but not optional. The point: I must be willing to forgive because I've already been forgiven of more by Jesus.
