“One day Jesus said to his disciples, ‘There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting! 2 It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin. 3 So watch yourselves!’” v. 1-3
Powerful words this morning! Temptation is everywhere! Just because you become a Christ Follower, doesn’t mean you won’t be tempted, in fact, the temptation to sin may increase because Satan still wants to have control of your life. He knows if he can keep you trapped in sin it will lesson your effectiveness to lead others to Christ and to experience the peace of Christ. Jesus says that we are to watch ourselves!
We are to watch the way we live, this includes the way we talk and the way we act. It also includes the things we watch, listen too, and do. Our life is on display for others. Lets not cause someone else to sin because they justify it by our lifestyle. Now that doesn’t mean we have to walk around on eggshells, but we should be aware of the impact that we have on others and make the most of every opportunity!
