“First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” Matthew 5:24. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus taught that the problem of human estrangement is so serious that we should even interrupt our worship to go on a personal mission of reconciliation. The Master encouraged His followers to be reconciled with one another eagerly, aggressively, quickly, and personally. Are any of your relationships broken or estranged because of something you said or did? Take the initiative. Go now and do all you can to be reconciled. At the heart of all conflict is a selfish heart.
