Jesus, the Great Reconciler!

Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, Leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 5:23-24 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Be reconciled to each other before you offer anything to God. What is Jesus saying here? He’s telling us that the altar (our hearts, we are the temple of the living God under the New Covenant) is more important than the gift being offered. God is more concerned about our heart condition toward each other than He is about a gift or offering or sacrifice to Him. Make sure you have prepared your heart and that you come to Him having a pure heart, not holding any un-forgiveness toward anyone.

MY PRAYER…
Precious Father, thank You forgiving me, for cleansing me of all unrighteousness through the precious blood of Jesus. Father, let me see the revelation of the teaching offered in these verses. Help me Father, to understand that we must come to You with only a pure heart. A heart that holds no malice or un-forgiveness, but only love. The Love of God that has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Father, take me and purge me with Your Refiner’s Fire and remove all un-forgiveness, strife, envy, and anything else that is not a part of Your Love from me. Father, make me a vessel You can use for Your Glory. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Why is it that no one, not even Christians want to help monetarily with a Christian work, They think ALL Christian work just does itself. That Christians should be poor and be happy about it. But if it was for sports or some other earthly work they would be more than glad to help probably give pretty good in fact.
