03/15 Matthew 5:23-26
“So if you are standing before the altar in the Temple, offering a sacrifice to God, and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there beside the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. 25 Come to terms quickly with your enemy before it is too late and you are dragged into court, handed over to an officer, and thrown in jail. 26 I assure you that you won’t be free again until you have paid the last penny.
YOU
The problem with separation in humanity is so great that Jesus calls YOU to initiate reconciliation. The problem is so great that Jesus calls to even interrupt our worship if we are confronted with the need to reconcile with another. Reconciliation is more important than religious rites. People count with the Lord.
