NO OFFENSES

Luke 17:1 (NKJV) ... It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
     Our world is full of injustice, simply because of its fallen nature, sin has made its mark on our environment. The heart of man is dark until the life of God exposes our sin to the light, like a negative waiting for the shutter of the camera to reveal the light, we are in need of a permanent exposure to Gods Truth. The picture of salvation becomes clear when properly revealed to the sin sick soul.
     Jesus reminds the disciples, offense is a part of life, it will come like the desire for our next breath. However we are responsible for our part in the offense. For example, the person who satisfies their life through the expense of another, the one who sells drugs to the user, will be judged by their own standard. Jesus seems to say, I will forgive the user, but the supplier is in real trouble. Why, God zeros in on the one who causes another to sin, we can be forgiven and God offers that forgiveness, however for the person who deliberately sins there are sever consequences.
    If we will submit our entire life to Christ, He will forgive our sins, remember He is looking for the soul that will trust Him with everything. Is there some sin you cannot forgive, He can, is there some hurt you cannot overlook He will, trust Him today and know His forgiveness.
Heavenly Father help us to forgive with your forgiveness, help us to remember that You forget our sin, when we repent. Help the one who is destroying the life of another to see, and repent. Help us to trust You in everything. Amen
