Offences and Offendant
Thursday, March 31st, 2005Luke 17:1-5
Then He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
Bible says that it would be impossible for you not to suffer being offended by someone in your whole lifetime. Like what also the Bible says, sometimes, you just want to tie a millstone around the person’s neck and throw him into the sea. I am basically not a petty person but if you can offend me and make me really upset and angry, you are just one super offensive person. My advise to you: Stop this profession of yours! It is not cool!
