Millstone, Maimed, and Maggots

Mark 9:42-44   
42 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—44 where ‘Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’

By loving others and not causing them to sin or to keep them from the Lord, we will escape punishment that never ends, instead forever in the new heavens and earth in His presence.  Though we look on those who suffer for sin, we do not rejoice, but sorrow.
