millstone in Luke 17
MILL-stohn
This thing shows up in Luke 17:2: “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Luke 17:2
“It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.”
What kids can learn
When you hear millstone in Luke, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Luke 17:2 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
