Devotion - Wednesday, February 27

There are often billboards encouraging folks to "get right with God."  In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us to "get right with one another."  

He says, "So, if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there and go, first be reconciled to your brother or sister."

The two are interconnected.  We can't be reconciled with the one without there being harmony with the other.  If we are looking for affirmation as to the health of our relationship with God we need look no further than our relationships with our sisters and our brothers.

Are we a friend to others?  Do we show compassion?  Are the marginalized further pushed aside by the way we live our lives?

Getting right with our sisters and brothers is on Jesus' list of things meriting our attention.
