See how seriously the Lord treats lustful looking. Cut your eye out! Of course, removing a bodily organ does not remove sin (since sin is in the heart.) But Jesus draws for us a dramatic picture, a message that surely shouts, Do all it takes to fight temptation! The evil forces warring against you are powerful, clever and deceptive.31 The temptations and pressures are enormous.32 A half-hearted defense can never hold back such determined attacks. Resolve to fight sin with all your heart and strength. Are you determined enough to gouge out your eye (if that would actually solve the sin problem?) Then certainly you should tear up that book or magazine that can twist your mind. Turn off that sensual television program!33 Leave that tempting person or situation! Just as seriously, avoid being the temptation.
