In Matthew 18:8-9, Jesus said, “Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.”

Did Jesus really mean for us to cut our hand off?  Or our foot? Or pluck out an eye?  Surely not!  If I did cut off a hand or a foot, that would not keep me from sinning, would it?  God wants us to take care of our bodies.

Jesus’ point is simply this – If we are doing anything that causes us to sin, if  we are going anywhere that causes us to sin, if we are looking at anything that causes us to sin, stop it!  Quit!  There is no sin that is worth causing you to miss out on heaven!
