The You EffectExemplo

Have you ever listened to a bad band? I mean an awful band where what they are playing doesn’t even sound like music? If so, the chances are the harmony, or the members of the band are off with each other. And when that happens, it affects everything. 

In this verse, Jesus is telling His followers to reconcile with one another. And reconcile is just another way of saying, make harmony. When we are out of sync with people, the effects can be like listening to a terrible band. It throws everything off. And Jesus is saying, this matters! Before we go to worship Him, we need to make right where our harmony may be off with others. Reconciling with others not only clears our hearts and minds for worship, it can also restore our influence with others. An un-mended relationship loses influence, but where there is harmony, there is a greater chance for a positive effect.Think about a relationship you need to mend.
