THE METAPHOR OF THE MILLSTONE Do you remember that scripture - TopicsExpress



          

THE METAPHOR OF THE MILLSTONE Do you remember that scripture where Jesus addressed people who caused children to stumble in life? The passage is in Matthew 18:5-7. Jesus said it would better for those misguided folks if a millstone was hung about their necks and they were thrown into the sea. Pretty serious consequences -- and proof of how much Jesus loved children! Jesus used a very drammatic item common in biblical times to illustrate His point. A millstone was used as an olive press or a way to grind the grain. It was a huge stone. He was probably pointing to one when he spoke. People would have understood what He meant! Not something you want to experience! Everything in the New Testament is there to try to make truth understandable. Jesus, a wonderful storyteller, was never in the business of making things obscure, He was in the business of making things clear. -- Mike Huckabee This story is brought to you by: GodFruits
