“Go and Tell Him” Matthew 18:15-17

Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 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.” And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. Matthew 18 (NKJV)

Some closing thoughts... Going to our brother is the best thing for us to do (1 John 5:3). Refusing to resolve offenses plays into the devil’s effort to destroy souls and cripple the local church (2 Cor. 2:11). Love demands that we expect the best in our brethren, not the worst (1 Cor. 13:7). None of us is above criticism. Humility will welcome opportunities to work out differences (1 Pet. 5:5-6; Col. 3:12-15).
