MILLSTONE … AROUND HIS NECK / MATTHEW 18:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 18:6

 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

MILLSTONE … AROUND HIS NECK / MATTHEW 18:6

This verse is a strong warning to those who might influence others – particularly children or childlike followers of Christ – to sin or defy God. 

  1. We must be careful not to offend or spiritually mislead anyone who might look to us for a godly example. It is one thing to deliberately go our own way, but to cause others to fall away from God is an even greater offense and will include Christ’s greatest wrath (justified anger and punishment). 
  2. Pastors, teachers and especially parents should five special attention to these words of Jesus. The parents’ responsibility is to instruct their children in the ways of God (Deuteronomy 6:1-9; Luke 1:17; Ephesians 6:4; 1 Timothy 4:16) and to protect them from the ungodly influence of the world and Satan (Titus 1:10-11; 2:11-12; 1John 2:15-17).
  3. Christian parents must help their children to avoid the influence of ungodly friends. Parents should be especially careful about what they allow the world to introduce to their children’s minds and hearts by means of education or avenues of entertainment, such as television, the internet, music and other media (Psalms 101:3; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21).
