Pastor Joe's Sermons
f you're a follower of Christ you should follow Christ's protocol for dealing with other people's sin. You can't be indifferent; you are the keeper of your brother!
#arbitration #sin #fault #hurt #wrong #witness #witnesses #lawsuit
Not everybody that has a scalpel is a surgeon. Not anyone that puts on a clean robe has his/her hands clean... Only God can heal the wound...! There is a specific protocol to be strictly followed. Never allow people with dirty hands touch a wound... The infection can be more dangerous than the wound itself...
Jesus describes a three-step protocol to follow when your brother wounded you.
“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him ALONE!” Don’t involve anybody. Not even a friend, or your pastor!!! You and him alone!!!
This applies to sin in general. Now, of course, you cannot invent sins…! Only if your brother sins…
Am I my brother’s keeper?
I know this goes against the grain of our individualistic American society… but the answer is: Yes, you are!
If step #1 fails, (reconciliation cannot happen) you “kick it up a notch.” This doesn’t mean you get angry and start a public campaign…! Jesus tells you exactly what that “notch” is: But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that `by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. (v. 16)
The 2 or 3 witnesses was standard judicial procedure in the Old Testament and in early Christianity. A single witness was not enough to establish facts in the courtroom. Only on the testimony of two or three witnesses can a charge be established.
Why are the witnesses needed? You may assume your brother is wrong! What if you are wrong? What if both of you are wrong? Who will establish the truth?
Please understand: that doesn’t mean you come in front of the congregation in a worship service. The role of a worship service is neither to make publicity to sin, nor to put people to shame. The church has a body of spiritual leaders that can be asked to look into this situation and if they deem it necessary they will bring it to the church business meeting.
If even this effort fails: “…let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.”
What does this mean? Start over and introduce Jesus to them –love on those people. Start with the basics of the Gospel…What was Jesus’ attitude toward the heathen and the tax collectors? The point is not to get rid of the sinner; it’s all about winning a sinner back…
The goal is: do your best to solve the problem at the lowest level possible... Negotiation->Mediation->Arbitration (Don’t go outside the church for arbitration!).
Not every process ends with a happy end. Don’t give up easily... Follow the protocol!
