On this day in 1888, Vincent van Gough cut off his left ear. In keeping with that spirit, what's the craziest thing you've ever done?
It is a sin to cut off one's body parts. Why? Because one's body belongs to Christ. Yet Christ said, "it would be better for YOU to cut off your arm or leg and pull out your eye than to go to Gehenna". Jesus emphasized YOU not a judge nor a jury. One would not pull out one's own eye. One would think about it. The eye belonged to Jesus. He purchased it with his life. One would meditate as to how one would improve one's thinking to bring that thinking into line with the thinking of Jesus. If one had a greedy eye one would need to work on that fault. There was nothing wrong with the human eye. Jesus was speaking thus of the spiritual eye but one thing was for sure if one did not correct oneself one would lose all right to life FOREVER in the Lake of Fire.
The arrival of Jesus placed mercy into the law and when the Mosaic law required the removal of a hand because one had become a habitual offender over a long period of time now MERCY stood in place and said, "this means everlasting life their taking in knowledge of You, the only true God, and of the one whom You sent forth Jesus Christ" (John 17:3)
The craziest thing I have ever done is this...I left home to preach the good news in Montreal, Quebec. This is the craziest thing I have ever done...I left home 1950-1953 to attend religious conventions to learn about Christ Jesus and how to preach that good news.
