*THE UNOFFENDED BELIEVER*
*God's Process for Resolving Offense*
*Scripture*
Matthew 18:15 (KJV)
“Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.”
*Teaching*
Jesus did not merely command forgiveness. He gave us a process for resolving conflict.
Notice the first instruction: "Go... between thee and him alone."
Not your closest friend.
Not your family.
Not the church WhatsApp group.
Not social media.
The Kingdom of God does not operate through gossip, hints, silent treatment, or public embarrassment. It operates through courageous, loving, and direct conversations.
Many offenses are never resolved because the wrong people hear about them first.
Every person you tell before speaking to the one involved increases the likelihood of misunderstanding, division, and hardened hearts.
Jesus' goal was never to prove who was right. His goal was to "gain thy brother." Restoration, not victory, is the Kingdom objective.
Before every difficult conversation, ask yourself: "Am I trying to win an argument, or am I trying to win my brother?"
That single question changes your attitude, your words, and your approach.
A church that practises Matthew 18 consistently becomes difficult to divide. A church that ignores it becomes fertile ground for offense, suspicion, and unnecessary conflict.
*Why This Happens*
Speaking to others before speaking to the person involved feels emotionally safer because it brings validation. But validation without resolution only strengthens the narrative in your mind and delays healing.
Bible teaches that mature believers do not spread offenses. Love seeks restoration, not public sympathy. When disagreements arise, believers should handle them with wisdom, discretion, and a genuine desire to preserve unity in the Body of Christ.
*Action*
If there is someone you have been avoiding because of an unresolved issue, make a decision today to speak with them privately. Pray before the conversation, listen carefully, and pursue understanding rather than victory.
*Reflection*
When you are hurt, who hears about it first: the person who offended you, or someone else?
