Matthew 18:7 -- On Opposition and Avoiding Offense

"Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!"
Matthew 18:7


I like the acknowledgement here that offenses are a necessary aspect of mortal life--the whole opposition in all things idea. Without opposition there wouldn't be real choice, or real progress/improvement. And the warning... even though opposition is necessary, the bad and the good, let's make sure that we aren't rejoicing or fighting for the bad. There is going to be plenty of opposition in our lives naturally. We don't have to purposely draw more in, or promote it. :) Today, let's be sure that we aren't the roadblock or the stone of stumbling in anyone's life.
