Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is
“immix.” It always seemed to me
that the closer JC got to the end of his ministry that everything started
piling up. At the point of this passage,
he is dealing with some pretty heavy stuff.
His disciples want to know what it is to become the greatest in
heaven. Jesus answers that, then goes on
to tell a story about going after people who need a relationship with God, and
then tackles the issue of sin like a champ.
He pretty much puts the responsibility on the brothers and sisters to
take care of one another, and point out the things that they are doing
wrong. But then he ends with something
that is most important in this passage.
"Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about
anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in
heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my
name, there am I among them.”
~Matt. 18:19-20
My question is: who were the people that you spend most of
your time with? We see a lot of promise
from God in that this particular chapter in Matthew. God has specific disciplines for those who do
stuff in his name, or under his rule. It
always amazed me and still does how people get upset with the stuff that God
requires of us. We are not forced into
his family. It is our choice. My prayer is that each of you understands the
promise that is given freely, which is the resurrected Christ. It is our privilege to be a part of the stuff
JC calls us to do through community. So
as you immix, or mingle and associate with others, do so wisely concerning the choice
of that company.
Praying for you,
MO
