Ouch

Commentary on Matthew 5.

If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

That’s rough. But it’s so powerful. There are things in all of our lives that cause us to sin. Friends, the internet, the television, whatever. Would it not be better to cut out those things? It’s a basic concept, but it’s difficult. If that friend is causing us to sin, should we really be spending that much time with him?
