Gospels -Instruction

1. Question: In the Sermon on the Mount, what did Jesus say to do if your right eye causes you to sin?

2. What should a person do who comes to worship and remembers that his brother has something against him?

3. Fill in the blanks:  Jesus  said, "It  is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole ----------- to be cast into ----------."

 

1. "Pluck it out and cast it from you" (Matt. 5:29). Sin must be rooted out of one's life ruthlessly. Jesus hyperbolic statement stresses the seriousness of the issue.

 

2. Leave his gift, go, and be reconciled  to his brother (Matt. 5:23,24). Then he should return and worship because then his worship will be received by God gladly.

 

3. "Body...Hell" (Matt 5:30).  One should not cling to sin and thereby suffer eternal loss.
