Reading:

James 5:19,20

Then help me!

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth,
and one convert him;

Let him know,
that he which converteth the sinner
from the error of his way
shall save a soul from death,
and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Purposeful Injustice

For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

Mark 14:56

Reading:

Mark 14:43-59

“And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely” (Mark 14:44).

Do I think my loyalty to Jesus is a given — no circumstance exists in which I would become the next Judas?

What small betrayals do I overlook or excuse or mislabel?

Do I expect others to defend me and stand up for me — and resent them when they don’t?

When do I pursue my own interests…at the expense of justice?

How must I handle “those” who have witnessed falsely against me?

What must I do when I know someone is giving an inaccurate report about another?
