‘Something That We Need To Remember.’
Ephesians 2:11-13.
a) Ephesians 2:11. We are the “uncircumcised”. In the history of early Christianity we would have been looked down upon by the original Jewish Believers.
b) Ephesians 2:12. In the past:-
1- We were without Christ.
2- We were not citizens of Israel.
3- We had no part in the agreements that God made with His Jewish People.
4- We had no Hope.
5- We did not know God.
c) Ephesians 3:13. But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away from God are brought near through the Blood of Christ's death.
(Through this QT I find Something That I Need To Remember - something that should keep me humbly before the Cross of Jesus Christ)

‘When Possible Reconciliation Comes Before Worship.’
Matthew 5:24.
a) This is something to do before we Worship.
b) Go …
c) Be reconciled to that person.
d) Then come….
e) Make our sacrifice of Worship to God.
(Through this Second one I understand When Possible Reconciliation comes before Worship)

Chris.
We may sometimes be looked down upon by other people. This especially can happen to True Believers. It may be a mild form of persecution or a comparison with the sinful standards of the World system. If we are looked down upon by other people our eventual response should be increased humility in our lives.
