Matthew 18:15 “If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. [NLT]
Mathew 18:16But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. [NLT]
Matthew 18:17 If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.[NLT]
Mathew 18:18“I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.[NLT]
Mathew 18:19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.[NLT]
After read through these verse, i found out that it is totally connected with my current life. Matthew 18:15-17 is best describe of me. A lot of times I tried to point out the offense, I will end up in unsuccessful and even worse like quarrel. Is it my word too offending or whatelse? I have no idea.
But in Mathew 18:16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. [NLT] told me that if we are truely wanted to let the person to understand, we can even let others to speak out thier mind. In my case, now it will not do, But I still try to.
Matthew 18:20For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” [NLT]It seem like no matter what had result in, Christ will always be with every of us. As long as we believe in him like John 3:16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.[NLT]
No matter what had happen, I believe in Lord.
"I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
The holy catholic church;
The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting.
Amen."
