Lust: Redeeming Our Eyes and Hands for the Kingdom
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, 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.
30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Matthew 5:27-30(NIV)
Why is adultery of the heart so dangerous?
What are ways that we let it enter into our heart?
Looking into the challenging words of Jesus on adultery, lust, and the cutting off of problematic eyes and hands (yikes!), the Intentional Faith Devotional team continues their study of the Sermon on the Mount.
