Today: [Matthew 18] The Utter and Absolute Need to Forgive Others. In Matthew 18 we see a much neglected instruction from Jesus himself about bringing our unresolved offenses publically before the church. While this is commanded directly by Jesus, it is almost unheard of in modern church culture. Instead, offenses are swept under the rug, out of sight and disagreements and judgments fester among those for whom Christ died, until unity of the faith is well-nigh extinct among us. Are you offended? What are you prepared to do about it? Are you willing to go before the church and solve your grievances as prescribed by the words of Jesus Himself?
