Read through the Bible in 2 Years: 2 Kings 22-23

And [King Josiah] deposed the priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to make offerings in the high places at the cities of Judah and around Jerusalem …  And he brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, outside Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron and beat it to dust and cast the dust of it upon the graves of the common people. And he broke down the houses of the male cult prostitutes who were in the house of the LORD… and defiled the high places where the priests had made offerings, from Geba to Beersheba.

2 Kings 23:5-8 ESV

Today’s passage about godly King Josiah pointed me to the KING of Kings, Jesus.
Jesus said in Matthew 5:29 ESV, “If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.”

And again in Matthew 18:7-9 ESV, “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.”

Let’s be SERIOUS about those temptations that lead US to sin, as well as those people who lead OTHERS to sin.
