Summary: We all face conflicts in life. Even Christians do not always agree with each other. In our Bible Reading, Jesus gives us a plan for resolving conflicts with our brothers and sisters in Christ.<br> Verse 15 says, <em>If your brother or sister in Gods family does something wrong, go and tell them what they did wrong.</em> This shows us that we need to do something to resolve our conflicts. If going to a brother or sister alone doesnt solve the problem, then we are to take other Christians with us. And if that doesnt help, then we are to <em>treat them as you would treat someone who does not know God or who is a tax collector</em> (verse 17b). We should not hate that person. Instead we should show them Gods love and grace.<br> We should work hard to resolve our conflicts with other Christians. God will be pleased when we settle our problems using Jesus plan.
