Love Worth Finding 28th February 2024 Devotional
Read Love Worth Finding 28th February 2024 Devotional by Adrian Rogers, Wednesday Message. As you study today’s devotional, remember this; “Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” – 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT)
TOPIC: Christ is the Only Way to Harmony
“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.” – Matthew 18:15
PONDER THIS
We shame God the Father when we don’t get along as brothers and sisters. It disgraces Him. It also discourages the faithful. There’s nothing worse than being in a church where there’s not harmony, and there’s nothing sweeter than being in a church where there is harmony. “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1).
Our Lord Jesus, in John 17:21, said, “that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.” Did you know our unity is a form of evangelism? It tells the world we are Jesus’ Church because we have reconciliation and peace with one another. Outside of God, profound peace with one another is not possible. We may be able to get along when we are only talking on the surface, but as soon as we become close to one another we find conflict. Reconciliation is only possible through Christ.
Satan loves to see brothers and sisters who cannot get along. The cause of Christ is hurt more by church squabbles and fusses than by false doctrine. This is a perplexing problem that can only be resolved in Christ.
- Is there anyone in the Church you are not at peace with? How can you pray for that person? What can you do to live at peace?
- What are some arguments you have had with people in the Church? How have you sought to resolve them?
PRACTICE THIS
Take a step toward reconciliation with someone you are at odds with, whether praying for that person or seeking counsel about how to reconcile.
