💎 Daily Diamonds – Commands of Christ: Be Reconciled with Your Brother

“First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” – Matthew 5:24 (ESV)

📜 The Command

God values restored relationships even above ritual worship. Before bringing our offering, He calls us to pursue reconciliation.

🕊 Theological Depth

• Peace as Worship – Reconciliation is itself an act of obedience and worship (Romans 12:18).
• God’s Example – He reconciled us to Himself through Christ (2 Corinthians 5:18–19).

🗝 Word Study

• Reconcile – Greek: diallassō (διαλλάσσω, dee-ah-LAHS-so) – to bring back together, to make peace.

💎 Diamond of Truth

We cannot worship rightly if we refuse to forgive. Peace with others clears the path for peace with God.

💬 Reflect and Respond

• Is there someone I need to approach in humility and grace?
• Am I offering worship while harboring bitterness?
