*Hatred that alienates Christ*
By : Eddy Joel Silsbee
May our God the Richest in Grace guid us in exquisitely.
Samaritans acknowledged and declared gladly that Jesus is the Redeemer, the Prophet, Messiah etc.
They also confessed that such confirmation is not because of that lady’s testimony but by their own experience.
Also, knowing Jesus Christ was just passing by their village, they insisted Jesus Christ to stay 2 more days (John 4:39-42)
To the contrary, while he was retuning back, knowing that Jesus is going to their rivalry city of Jerusalem, Samaritans did not even allow Jesus and His disciples inside their village (Luke 9:52-53)
Yes, the enmity in heart will reject even if its Jesus !!
What a pain it is to have Christian churches, Christians and servants who express the same distance in their love to the north and south !!
For sure, ... hatred and enmity are the barrier to our salvation.
The feeling of enmity must be dispelled.
You already have lawsuits among you. This shows that you have completely failed! It would be better to allow someone to do wrong to you, wouldn’t it? Why not let someone cheat you? Instead, you are doing wrong and you are cheating. And you are doing this to brothers! 1 Cor 6:7-8 (HNC-NT)
Whoever is in the wrong, whether you or him(her), those seek the community of God - they must fix themselves first !! ... Does that mean that any prayer that is not reconciled will remain with us?
Hatred and hostility is the barricade for salvation. This must be shook-out. Come to a conclusion before taking the Bible. Mt 5:23-24, Mt 18:15-17, Rom 12:18
