Matthew 18:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 18:9

7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For ^aoffenses must come, but ^bwoe to that man by whom the offense comes!

8 ^a“If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire.

9 And 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 into¹ hell fire.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven ^atheir angels always ^bsee the face of My Father who is in heaven.

11 ^aFor the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
