Pursuing a Sinning Brother
As you think about this path, does it intimidate you? Are you fearful of, or don't do well with confrontation? It's so easy to try to take matters into your own hands, or not deal with sin at all. I pray that you see the importance of these steps of reconciliation that Jesus calls you to follow, coupled with the peace it brings. If love can't cover the sin, like the shepherd goes after the one sheep, you must go to your brother or sister. As Jesus has shown by love fueled call and example, never forget that there are no pains too much to take for the recovering of a sinner to repentance. I hope you can see the blessings of following the path, along with the great consequences of not doing so.
