"Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!"
"But woe unto him" Jesus referred to anyone who causes 'the little one to stumble. In the Gospel of St Mathew the same key verse is set in a context differently, But the point we are concerned is of two parallel worlds which operate under the Law of the Spirit which the little one represents, "And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."(Matt.18:1-7) The little one in the land of the living is same as the Law of the Spirit considers each as blessed with potential to be conformed in the image of the Son.so one represent the whole. "And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness." (Ro.8:10) On the other hand those who are in the flesh are under the law of sin. It is thus we speaks of two parallel worlds. "Woe unto him referred to the rich man in the Parable of the Rich man and Lazarus. "For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment." While had time to do good he spent it all living like a lord in wanton complacency. His riches blinded him so he forgot his obligations to other. If his brothers did not improve from the Law of Moses even Lazarus resurrected for the purpose shall fail. For the simple reason riches had corrupted the seed in his heart. His wealth was to his own hurt by serving the devil. He belonged to the nation of 'goats' placed on the left hand. In the Parable(Matt.25:31-46), the children of disobedience create injustice ,violence and iniquity and have abandoned 'the little ones' to suffer, Prison nakedness hunger are all that they inflicted on the righteous ones because their world was wicked."Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."(Matt.25:44)
