Mark 9:42-50 "The Seriousness of Sin"

Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches about Mark 9:42-50 "The Seriousness of Sin" on 3-22-26 for our Sunday service. Mark 9:42-5042 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched — 44 where 'Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.' 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched — 46 where 'Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.' 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire — 48 where'Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.' 49 "For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. 50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another." Jesus has been moving from proving to the world who He is through signs and wonders to revealing to His disciples what being the Christ really means. He has been teaching a deeper level of understanding. He has been teaching them on suffering and now moves to the seriousness of sin. How we need to radically separate ourselves from sin. Jesus warns not only of the seriousness of sin, but the consequences of sin.
