OFFENSES IN LIFE

The word “offense” means “a stumbling block”. These may be divided into two groups.

1. Non-deliberate stumbling blocks.

2. Deliberate stumbling blocks.

The Lord Jesus gave a strong warning against the latter group!

“Then He said to the disciples, ‘It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.’”

Luke 17:1-2

1. “Then He said to the disciples”

a. This word was directed to His Disciples.
b. They must take careful heed of the danger He was going to highlight.

2. “It is impossible that no offenses should come”

a. It is impossible to not see offenses occur.
b. Somehow, someone would take offense.
c. But this may be called:
i. Unwitting offense.
ii. Non-intentional offense.
iii. Non-deliberate offense.

3. “But woe to him through whom they do come”

a. The Lord was now speaking of the person who caused the offense.
b. This offense was a deliberate one.
i. It was intentional.
ii. This was pre-meditated.
iii. It was deliberate.

4. The Penalty would be very severe.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

a. The Penalty was not described in detail.
b. The comparison
i. Better if he had been thrown into the sea with a millstone round his neck.
ii. Than to offend “little ones”.

在生活中碰到绊倒人的事

“绊倒人的事”指的是“绊脚石。”这可以分成两种。

1. 无意的绊脚石

2. 刻意的绊脚石

主耶稣警告的是第二种！

“耶稣又对门徒说：‘ 绊倒人的事是免不了的，但那绊倒人的有祸了！就是把磨石拴在这人的颈项上，丢在海里，还强如他把这小子里的一个绊倒了。’”

《路加福音 17：1-2》

a. 这话是对祂的门徒说的

b. 他们必须注意祂所强调的危害

2.“绊倒人的事是免不了的”

a. 绊倒人是难免的

b. 难免会有人被冒犯

c. 但这可能是：

i. 无意识地绊倒人

ii. 非故意地绊倒人

iii. 不经意地绊倒人

3. “但那绊倒人的有祸了”

d. 主正说的是绊倒别人的人

e. 他刻意地绊倒别人

i. 是故意的

ii. 是有预谋的

iii. 是存心的

4. 他所面对的处罚会非常严厉

“就是把磨石拴在这人的颈项上，丢在海里，还强如他把这小子里的一个绊倒了。”
