Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:19 KJV
~~~~~~~~~~~
A doctor telling patients they should smoke
Would soon not have a practice left to hold.
A man who works for Pepsi selling Coke
Won’t have a job for long to be enrolled.
If you’re a Christian teach the Christian way:
You meet the Father only through the Son. *
To tell that other ways to God’s okay
Will find that in the end you’ve come undone.
The least of God’s commandments should be kept;
Don’t break one and then teach that this is good,
For if you do, you’ve really overstepped;
The least belongs to you, as well it should.
It’s bad enough that you should go astray;
It’s worse if you lead others on that way.
