COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 18:15-17
15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
We live in an increasingly non-Christian world. Often, we assume that the people we meet each day share a common understanding of what is right and wrong, but the apparent shift is away from this.
Jesus in this passage, seems to me to be speaking into this situation. I expect my brother share my understanding of sin, but sometimes he won’t listen, no matter who gets involved. In this case, Jesus tells us to “let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”
It is easy to read this as permission to cut off my brother, to put him outside, and on some level that may be partly true. But I think it is important to remember as we read this passage, exactly how Jesus treated the Gentile and the tax collector. He was so willing to engage with them in speaking truth that his fellow Jews were offended and disgusted.
