Luke 17:1-4    “And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come; but woe to him by whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him; and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.””

RSV

Don’t be the source of temptations to others.  Especially don’t be one who causes children to sin.  In fact, watch yourself to keep from sinning.  In fact, be one who can be a source for good and forgiveness to others!

Dear Holy Spirit, please transform us to gladly follow Jesus.  Amen
