But I Don’t Have a Problem

(Mt 5:23-24)

23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

But You Do Have a Problem…

When we approach God with our offering of worship and or sacrifice and we “remember”-

Remembering that our brother has a problem with us,

God says- leave your offering and go make things right, 1st.

Then and only then can we continue…

Quite a conundrum when all you wanted to do was offer your sacrifice!

*Yet… this is what God requires-

And to top it off, there is no mention if the said (offense) was legitimate  or imagined!

Simple instruction **Go and reconcile** regardless of the circumstances.

So the often used maxim

“I don’t have the problem, they do”

Does not hold water with Christ!

But you do have a problem- Now!

God will not accept your worship until you fix it…
