Song # 1428.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In Matthew chapter 18, we read where Jesus is teaching the disciples about a sinful brother.
“If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over” (Matthew 18:15). “But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses” (Matthew 18:16). “If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the Church, and if he refuses to listen even to the Church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector” (Matthew 18:17). “I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 18:18). “Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven” (Matthew 18:19). “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20).
Thought for today: prayer acknowledges our need for God.
Thought for the future: a Christian’s inheritance is “forever” guaranteed. Where will you spend your eternity?
