Lamb (Photo credit: freefotouk)
Are you a Christian who has sin in your life? I want to mention something you may not be aware of:
There is a story of how the shepherd breaks the leg of a lamb who continues to wander off from the herd. The problem is that the sheep will teach others how to disobey his master. So to keep the flock in line, it is necessary to resort to radical means of insuring obedience.
Now, in the matter of breaking the legs of His people, there are two sets of legs every Christian owns. One set of legs enables that Christian to chase after things he shouldn’t. Breaking those legs may mean taking away the means the Christian uses to rebel against his Lord. In this we are talking arms, legs, eyes, lungs, etc.. It also might mean taking away any other means to sin, money, social contacts, mental ability, etc..
There is another set of legs the Lord has at his disposal to break. These are the legs we use to enter the Throne Room of the Holy Father. It is quite possible that these legs will leave a far deeper impact in the Christian. Only Jesus knows what is necessary, and will work for each of His people. But I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone speak about His correcting actions in this manner.
Regardless what happens to you (those who are living a life of sin), I urge you to listen with understanding to see if any of this fits your condition. If you are not caught in sin, don’t apply this to your walk with the Lord. However, if you’re caught in something you know you shouldn’t be in, it might be wise to consider what He has done already. And consider that He is quite able to do far more to entice us back into the fold.
By His Grace.
Words From There 
To say that God does this to His children is just plain stupid.
be reminded that Jesus is the good shepherd
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep”
– John 10:11
“What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?”
“And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.”
– Matthew 18:12-13
why not just kill the sheep? ei?
will you break your child’s legs to teach them not to run in streets?
will you put your child’s hand to a flaming hot stove to teach them fire is dangerous?
I don’t buy this and just don’t get it. if some earthly fathers are good, how can God not be good?
don’t mix Law and Grace. when you break a Law the enforcer is going to arrest you. God has nothing to do with it.
the way our earthly fathers treats us is not the same way God treats us.
so let’s stop the misunderstanding the good God.
God does not give Cancer when a smoker refuses to stop smoking.
don’t blame God when as a result of smoking you get cancer.

I appreciate your response. And I reflect that it is your view of Jesus. I simply ask this: What is the object of our salvation? Isn’t it to be presentable to the Father? Then what shall we say if a man is caught in a sin such as sexual immorality? What shall we say about the following?
21 “I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.” (Rev. 2)
