Mark 9:42-50 - “Would You Rather”
from Faith Sermons Hosted by Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church
Pastor JD de Klerk Scripture Reading 1 Corinthians 8 Summary: Jesus warns his disciples using three stark 'would you rather' scenarios about sin's seriousness. Causing a vulnerable believer to stumble deserves worse punishment than drowning with a millstone. Better to lose a hand, foot, or eye—cutting out whatever leads to sin—than to keep sinning and face hell's unquenchable fire and undying worm, a real, eternal, conscious punishment. Everyone suffers either way, so Christians should choose the temporary suffering of faithfulness over sin, trusting that Jesus himself endured hell's anguish on the cross so believers could enter eternal life instead. Identify and ruthlessly cut off whatever in your life—habits, media, friendships—leads you into sin. Scripture references: Mark 9:42-50; 1 Corinthians 8; Isaiah 66:24; Romans 8:18 Automatically generated. May contain errors.
