Making peace

6/9/2020

 
Picture
Hey Kids, This week we hear Jesus telling us how important it is to make peace when we are hurt by another Christian. 

The reading is Matthew chapter 18 verses 15 to 20. 
Here it is from the Contemporary English Version

If one of my followers sins against you, go and point out what was wrong. But do it in private, just between the two of you. If that person listens, you have won back a follower. But if that one refuses to listen, take along one or two others. The Scriptures teach that every complaint must be proven true by two or more witnesses. If the follower refuses to listen to them, report the matter to the church. Anyone who refuses to listen to the church must be treated like an unbeliever or a tax collector.

I promise you that God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth, but he will not allow anything you don’t allow.  I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you.  Whenever two or three of you come together in my name, I am there with you.

And here is a sheet of puzzles about it all.  Have fun!
