| Lesson 16: The Law Of The Old That Is Covered In the New Testament: Value Of Siblings 2/7/2014 by turtle Matthew 5:21-24 KJV (21) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: (22) But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (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. Siblings are people you grow up and are generally your best friend until you get married. Generally they are the ones that correct you, give you hard time, and defend you. They are generally the first person you learn to fight with, and the first person you learn to make amends with. God said thou shalt not kill, but Jesus goes even a step further that whoever is anger with his brother is in danger of judgment. Cain was question on his anger toward his brother. God warned Him. I wrote about Moses order of the killing of the golden calf worshippers. What I did not mention there was consequences for the killing not order by God. Moses and elders no long physically ate in heaven realm with God. The veil was separation from not only Moses after being in the presences of God, Moses had become a devil to Israelites. He order a killing and no one tried to stop it. They obeyed Moses without question, not seeking God on their own. Older siblings are like devils they often get the younger siblings to do things that would get them in trouble until they learn not to obey their older siblings. It a type of code of learning to defend the sibling as well as take punishment for their mistakes. Moses mistake was that the burden of going to God fell on his shoulders alone. Finally the burden became so great he ask God for help and God poured his Spirit again on seventy two of the elders. Moses no longer served God alone, but with help from the elders. One man could not do all the teaching and judging of a large group like Israel he need help. Yet God allowed this problem until people came to a point of needing God and seeking God on their own. A place of not following the leader. Just like siblings follow the leader till they wise up and obey their parents on their own and eventually only God if one is a believer. Moses became a devil on the day people did not question his authority concerning the law issued not to kill. They followed because of the signs and wonders Moses performed. One is killing their siblings of this world if one keeps a grudge, a grudge that can cost them eternity because of unforgiveness. It is necessary if you sin against your brother to make peace with him. But this is not just a biological brother but people you are anger with. Raca means to consider someone worthless. Do you consider people of this world worthless of no value. Do you call them stupid or moron or worse a fool. Then consider you are condemning yourself to hellfire, because your sacrifice at the altar is unworthy to be give to the Lord. Why sin against your brother, because in God’s eyes we are only worthy through payment of His Son to enter the kingdom of heaven. Our ignorance shows our ability to be fruitless, as our brother that we feel is stupid or moron. God said not to kill, but we kill all the day long when we no longer value someone. Everyone has value. Everyone has a purpose. Everyone has a reason to be in this world. They must find their own purpose God designed for them. Why God placed them here to glorify Him. Jesus explains the value of life beyond the do not kill, but the reason why. Dear Heavenly Father help us not to consider our fellow unworthy, but worthy to be to glorify you. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
