The 7 Sorrows


Jesus mentioned seven ways to guarantee God’s anger, when He told the religious leaders ‘what sorrow awaits you’. These seven statements were strong and unforgettable. They are still applicable anytime we become so involve in perfecting the practice of religion that we forget that God is also concerned with mercy real love and forgiveness.
The 7 sorrows
1.      Not letting others enter the Kingdom of Heaven and NOT entering yourselves.
2.      Converting people’s away from God to be like yourselves.
3.      Blindly leading God’s people to follow man-made traditions instead of God’s word.
4.      Involving yourself in every last detail and ignoring what is really important; justice, mercy and health.
5.      Keeping up appearances while your private world is corrupt.
6.      Acting spiritual to cover up sin.
7.      Pretending to have learned from the past history, but your present behavior shows you have learned nothing.
