Lesson 18: Self-harm & Suicide
Lesson 18: Self-harm & Suicide
Hi AY Family,
In our world today, there are people who are harming and killing themselves because of what they are going through.
People ask the question, “Why Christians who kill themselves go to Heaven?” and my answer to that question is “No”.
Instead of just letting go of the situation and trusting that God will take care of it, they kill themselves.
This is unbiblical and it is Satan’s way of him not wanting people to know about the truth concerning self-harm and suicide.
The Bible talks about Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ disciples, killing himself for betraying Him.
Matthew 27:1-10 says: “When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: and when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.”
Sincerely,
