Some Heavy Lifting

Have you ever thought of how horrible drowning would be?
If something was pulling you down and down, how far could you stay conscious underwater before you suffocated or inhaled to much water?
Would you feel yourself be crushed by the depths?
It is a sad and painful thought.
How dark and lonely it would be; how lost and hopeless life would be.
How cold and vulnerable you would feel.
How scared and desperate you would become.
Your lungs would burn. Your ears would ring! The water holding you, no way for you to be set free.
The weight of the world becoming heavier... and heavier... and heavier... and heavier... never, not once letting up for one moment!
I was thinking about this and thought, "what could be worse?"
Jesus says in Matthew 18 verses 5-6 "And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. 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 mill stone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea."

Food for thought.
