In this week’s message, entitled “How to Bring Correction”, we looked at Matthew 18:15-20. We heard how sometimes Jesus calls us to correct one another, and he really cares how. To better understand how we’re to live this out with one another, let’s consider these questions:
- Do you tend to think of correction as something positive or negative? In what ways can Matthew 18:15-20 inform this perspective?
- When you are sinned against, what tends to keep you from going to the one who has offended you? What scriptures speak to this temptation?
- What motives often come into play when you bring correction to others? How do these motives compare with the motives that Scripture instructs us to have?
- Why is it so important that we have pure motives when bringing correction? How should this influence the way that we walk through correction?
- When it comes to your bringing correction to others, what difference does the gospel make?
Let us remember the mercy that we have received and display that mercy in our relationships, especially as we correct one another in patience and love.
