Something Worse

John 5:14 KJV
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

Sometimes we think that whatever trouble we have is the worst trouble in the world. Nobody has had it as bad as us. No one could ever have it worse. Once in a while, we will justify ourselves with something like, "I know others are suffering, but this is what I am going through and that us what matters to me."

Jesus said this man could suffer worse than what he had:
  • Worse than being crippled
  • Worse than vein impotent
  • Worse than being alone and helpless
  • Worse than having only one superstitious hope
There is something worse.

  • It is worse to be forever separated from God in hell
  • It is worse to lose the fellowship with God in one's life
  • It is worse to be a stumbling stone in the way of other's relationship with Jesus
