Our paragraph topic is: (Fraternal correction) Part 2.
Christ continues to instruct his disciples on the importance of correction. He wants them to understand how to approach one in sin. He wants to teach them how to help each other when sin comes into the relationship. For sin will come. And sin will cause one to fall, sin will cause one to fail, sin will cause one to stray. But it is with the help of their brothers and sisters that they can overcome sin, they will cast out sin, they can be brought back to Christ.
For he told them that one must approach thy brother alone and show him/her their faults. Do not talk behind their backs. Do not talk with others about their sin. Do not write about it, text about it, discuss it with your friends. For Christ has given them the blueprint of how to overcome sin. Go and speak with thy brother/sister face to face about their sin. For the purpose is to confront sin. The purpose is to win back. The purpose is to show love to thy brother/sister that will allow them the opportunity to come back to you. The purpose is to win thy brother/sister back from sin. Christ told them: "If he listen to thee, thou hast won thy brother."
Love thy brother. Win thy brother. Show thy brother the fault, face to face, that they may have the opportunity to turn back from sin. For sin will come. Sin will tempt. Sin will try to take away thy brother/sister. But it is up to you, it is your responsibility to confront sin. It is your duty to win back. It is your love of the Father that seeks to show the truth of the circumstances. Christ has given to us the light of the Holy Spirit to guide us in our daily lives here on earth. For we are aliens, not of this world. We are citizens of heaven belonging to our Holy Father who created us. And it is that knowledge that will guide us, protect us, show us the way when sin comes to tempt us.
Some may understand. Some may know. Some may see the truth of the light of who they are. It is up to those who know the truth to show the ways of sin. Not preaching. Not teaching. But through the love that is within does one demonstrate. Through the love that comes from God does one enlighten. Through the love that is our nature as citizens of heaven that empower us to shine forth through the darkness, through the deceit, through the lies, the lust, through all the tricks and traps of sin. It is through love that comes from the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit that empowers us to overcome.
From that spirit of love we were created. It is through love that we conquer sin. It is through love that we seek to share the truth of who we are. It is through love that we hope to win our brothers and sisters. For they are lost. They are asleep. They walk the wide path to destruction without the knowledge of who they are within. Come! Seek the knowledge that is promised to you. Know the truth that Christ has given you. Receive the love that the Father showers upon you, simply by asking to know him. The desires that the world has to offer cannot compare to the satisfaction that awaits you in Christ. The desires of the world cannot compare to the all fulfilling love of the Father. The Holy Spirit awaits your beckon. Open the door and let him in.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ. The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
