In Hosea 9.10, the Amplified Version, the Bible says, “…they became detestable and loathsome like that which they loved.”
I first heard about the horrors of human trafficking In the holiday edition of the World Vision 2007 “Gift Catalog” in a story entitled “Sold. Trafficked. Abused.”
It’s hard to imagine there are people so “detestable and loathsome” they would make a business of forcibly taking little girls and boys of their virginity by catering to those who want to satisfy their twisted idea of sexual fulfillment. I would hate to be them when they stand before Jesus on Judgment Day and He reminds them of this little Bible verse...
“And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea,” (Matthew 18.5-6 NASU).
All of us have sinned (Romans 3.23), and apart from the mercy of a loving God, we also deserve His wrath.Jesus paid the price for our sins and secured our eternal home. All we have to do is accept Him by faith. While all sin is forgivable, I’m pretty sure robbing children of their innocence ranks near the top of the list of worst sins. According to Jesus, the wrath of God will be difficult to avoid for the person who willfully abuses a child.
