Offenses will come. Unfortunately, it is part of life but they don’t have to be. We are all born into a fallen, selfish, egotistical and inconsiderate life. Yes, Yes, I know that sounds somewhat harsh but the truth is when Adam and Eve fell the one thing that they became was self-conscience. We have been self-conscience ever since, so much so that we have turn being selfish into an art form in our modern times. With this ancient modern human characteristic mixed with today’s culture and media saturation we have a recipe for conflict and offenses. Whether they happen in marriages, work relationships, or even between nations it seems there is no getting around offense.
The good news; there is a way to live above offense and constant conflict. Jesus outlined it in his sermon on the mount found in the gospels. Jesus talked about your heart being the seat of conflict and offense more than just the words coming out of our mouth. He not only talked about not being offensive or being offended but also gave us specific instructions as how to resolve these conflicts.
Young Adult Pastor Jacob Hickman vividly and humorously share how Jesus’ principles are to be applied to our daily lives in order to not just avoid conflict but to heal the broken relationships because of offense. He end with a call to action, to resolve the offense by taking communion with the one we have offended or be offended by and thus bring healing and hope to the relationship.
