millstone in Matthew 18
MILL-stohn
This thing shows up in Matthew 18:6: “but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Matthew 18:6
“but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.”
What kids can learn
When you hear millstone in Matthew, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
