The Body of Sin Mt. 5: 27-32

Sin begins in our hearts and extends out to our hands, our ears and our eyes.

We first desire a particular sin in our heart and then we strive to attain it with our hands, our eyes or our ears.

This is why Jesus warns us that it is better to pluck out our eye or cut off our hand rather than risk the fires of Gehenna.

He does not mean for us to literally pluck them out or cut them off,

But to beware of what we desire with our hearts

look at with our eyes;

or listen with our ears;

Or reach for with our hands.

For it is not worth the fires of Gehenna

Or anything else for that matter.

God Bless
