THE DANGER CALLED OFFENCE
TEXT : LUKE 17:1-4
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
The scripture did not give the believer permission to revenge any wrong done to him.
We are permitted to revenge only when the person has offended us seven times seventy times a day.this is obviously impossible so the scripture is against revenge of any type.
Jesus wants us to be at peace with all men.
It is this practice that will move our Christian lives to the next level.
I pray that you will receive grace to triumph in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
