If there were two roads, one leading to Heaven and one leading to Hell, what would they look like? What would you see along the roadside? What things would people discard on each of these journeys?I was in a bible study and the verses of Matthew chapter 5:29-30 came up.
And if your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell. And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell. – Jesus the Christ
I asked the group if Christ was being literal or figurative? The answer they gave surprised me. They said literal. It made me think more about this in detail. Why would they think He was being literal? Why have I always thought of this passage as being figurative. Something more to ponder...on this highway to Heaven.
