Being on the chopping block

In our world sin is so prevelent we become a little numb to it.  The shock and awe of Mark 9:43-48 in very intentional.  Putting your limbs on the chopping block to fight against sin is a brutal image.  None of Jesus' 12 apostles were amputees, but listen up. 

Has Jesus got your attention?  Do you feel totally hopeless?  Good.  You're ready to come to Him with no reliance on yourself, hanging soley on what Jesus can do for you.  Get ready, admit the truth of your helplessness, and let God love you.
