Who doesn’t like a teddy bear? They’re cute; they’re cuddly.
Unfortunately, sometimes children consign their views of teddy bears onto real
ones. That’s dangerous.
In
1990, two boys climbed over a fence at the Bronx Zoo in New York City and descended
into the polar bear compound. Later, workers found their lifeless bodies.
One writer applied this story to pet
sins. All of us are tempted to maintain pet sins. Watch out! Your pet sins can
kill!
29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw
it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole
body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right
hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to
lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell
(Mt. 5:29-30.)
