| Welcoming but not Affirming |
Do we welcome Jesus’ disciples? Of course they no longer walk the earth. The Churches that they established are still here. There are churches founded by them in India, Italy, Greece, Egypt and many other places. Do we welcome those still faithful to the work of those Apostles? Their teachings are also still with us in the New Testament. Do we welcome those words? What about modern day prophets? Are they welcome among us? What about simple righteous fellow Christians? Are they welcome? What about those not yet righteous, because they have not yet learned enough? Perhaps they are still engaged in an unrighteous lifestyle, yet they are humble and wanting to learn? Would we give such little ones even so much as a drink of water? If so, Jesus promises that we will surely be rewarded (
Matthew 10:40-42
).
