THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 47: Justice and Prayer |
|
In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus wanted the
disciples to know that He had come to save the lost. Even if there
are seven billion people on earth today, the God-man was going to
sacrifice His life and make atonement for each individual. Everyone
has value in God’s eyes. When it comes to conflicts, the Son of God
advocated a straightforward procedure. He did not want Christians to
use secular courts to reconcile their conflicts. He was explicit
that they should be resolved within the church. Then Matthew’s
account explores the power of prayer and what occurs when two
believers come together and agree on a certain request. Jesus stated
that anytime two or more believers petition our heavenly Father,
Jesus is in the midst of them. The Devil hates prayer more than any
other activity because He knows the power of heaven awaits. When
likeminded believers join in prayer, it can move mountains and
change hearts. |
