Topic: Peaceful Co-existence, Please [Saturday March 28, 2015]

Text: Exodus 2:11-22

Key Verse: “And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?” (Exodus 2:13).

The world we live in is replete with discord, disunity and confusion. The beauty of the kingdom of God lies in true fellowship, love and unity which bind all saints together. What the world lacks can be found in the Kingdom.

Today’s text reveals the picture of two Hebrew men who were supposed to be bonded together because they had many things in common. They both shared the same lineage as descendants of Abraham. Unfortunately, they were fighting, forgetting that they were brethren.

From the passage, the fellow who was wrong quarrelled with Moses who came to make peace. It is clearly a sign of guilt to be angry at reproof. Men know not what they do, nor what enemies they are to themselves, when they resist and despise sincere reproof and those who reproof them.

Living peaceably with one another is a major and cardinal pillar in Christendom. The Christian faith is established on the pillar of the unity of the Triune God (1 John 5:7). Man is made to live in harmony with others. Any attempt to work contrary to this divine order will lead to confusion and anarchy. We must endeavour to live with one another peaceably with understanding and love.

Fellowship with one another is an evidence of walking in the light. “But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sins” (1 John 1:7). The Lord expects us to live together in unity as brotherly love continues. The power and glory of God will abide with us as individuals and the church when we remain united and bonded together.

Bible in One Year: Nehemiah 1-4

Thought for the Day: Unity of saints proves and preaches Christ’s love.
