Matthew 18:15-20
-
The challenge of stumbling into Matthew 18 without its context is that we get the point Jesus is trying to make completely backward.
-
Jesus doesn’t offer us rules for shunning. He offers us an opportunity to reconnect and restore the community we break apart.
-
When helping people right their wrongs, it’s easy to find wrongs everywhere—and being the one to save them.
-
So much of our energy is focused on what we are supposed to do at any given moment, we hardly listen to what Jesus is saying.
