YE WHICH ARE SPIRITUAL ...

EPHESIANS 6:1-2

(1)  Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;  considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.  (2)  Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in the Lord,  in this context; Christians are to uplift one another when in trouble with patience, and without resentment:  placing ourselves in their various positions of judgement:  in case we also fall into sin; for no man is righteous no not one.  We are to love one another, to fulfill the law of Christ. 

Case in point;  (a)  if our friend's spouse commits adultery and confines in us about the issue,  do we seek to reconcile the family through prayers and advise to forgive?, or do we preach divorce. (b)  when a co-worker makes an error at work; do we offer to help resolve the issue?, or do we advise the boss to fire him.  If we practice any of these evil attributes, the context above is for us; we need to bear and restore one another when at fault, with meekness and in love.

(Romans 15:1)  We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the week:  and not to please ourselves.

CONCLUSION:

Brethren in the Lord,  Let us not quickly judge one another, but uplift ourselves with the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ;  we need to restore one another with love and in righteousness.  Jesus, will love us more for our good deeds toward one another.  In his name we shall overcome all faults!

Amen and Amen!
