-Exodus 21:28-22:15 - Killer Oxen, Open Pits, Loving Your Neighbour, and the Gospel of Christ

isn’t unity among the church of more value than a $1,500 car repair? Wouldn’t you rather be abundantly loving, than be right and cause division in the church? Would you willingly sacrifice your pride, and your ‘right’ to justice, and even your hard-earned money in order to have peace in the church? In order to not bring the church, and therefore Jesus, into disgrace in the eyes of the world? Everybody want’s to save the world, but no one want’s to do the dishes. Everyone want’s church unity. Are we willing to actually tangibly sacrifice to get it? We ought to be eagerly seeking and going well above and beyond justice in order to keep the peace among the church.
