“But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Matthew 18:6, NLT.
The LORD sees genuine Christians as little children because they are pure in His sight and are the lambs and sheep among wolves, therefore in the verse above, He issues a harsh and direct warning to the wolves who would try to take advantage of the purity, godly intentions and helplessness of his children. Here the LORD is talking about his true followers as well as literal children. Because these two groups of people have the same things in common, their hearts are pure, they believe in God and love Him.
It is always very sad to see little children taken advantage of by those whom the LORD refers to as wolves especially those of them who come in sheep’s clothing, mingling among children just to pollute their lives, to steal them or from them, to kill them and to destroy them.
It is so heartbreaking to feel the heart of God whenever a child is taken advantage of; He weeps and is enraged, He pursues the wolf and doesn’t stop till He overtakes, recovers, and then destroys the wolf.
For the safety of these two groups of people, we are all to look out for them, and make sure we act as good shepherds towards them because the eyes of the LORD is always on both those, who act right towards them as well and on those who act wickedly towards them and He, the LORD, will repay each side accordingly!
