#243: Matthew 18-19 | Eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven
Manage episode 418590582 series 3423470
Jesus tells us to cut off our hands and pluck out our eyes, if they cause us to sin, saying it'd be better to go to heaven without them than to go to hell with them.
Then he tells us about eunuchs. Some are born eunuchs, some are made eunuchs by others, and some make themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
And finally, Jesus encourages us to abandon our families for his name's sake. Whoever does so will receive eternal life and 100 times as much stuff.
