Jesus says: If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

The loss of a right hand seems a very serious thing if we are right handed. 

 

"How could I do without my right hand?"

 

But to cling to that person or event unto our own destruction is even more foolish.

 

Matthew 5:30   And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

 

I once said to my mother, "You can go down but I'm not going down with you."

 

To that my mother replied, "I don't want you to go down."  (and she straightened up and even ended up saved by God)

 

In the end times, there is much iniquity and delusion.

 

Revelation 12:12 Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

 

Devils in people drive those individuals to crazy, destructive actions.

 

Don't we see people do unthinkable things today?  Observers frequently say, "Why did he do that?"  (there is no apparent reason for such actions)

 

Matthew 8:28-32   And when HE (Jesus) was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

 

Jesus warns us about the end times:

 

Matthew 24:21-22  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
