“A Sin Almost Too Great For Words”: Causing Little Ones to Stumble
It is sometimes said that all sins are equal in the sight of God, but it is not true. Some sins are more grievous than others. In referring to Jesus’ warning in Matt 18:6 about causing “one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble”, Warfield describes the offence as “a sin almost too great for words.”
“Blessed is the one … whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in season.”
— Psalm 1:1-3
