Beloved ones, I am considering what I have heard:
“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and cruelty you have ruled them.”
Ezekiel 34:1-4 NKJV
I was wondering,”have we strengthened the weak? How we should have strengthened the weak? This is the counsel that we have heard:
“Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.”
Romans 14:1-3 NKJV
Beloved ones, let us receive one who who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.
For those who didn’t receive one who is weak in faith but continue to dispute doubtful things. This is what we have heard:
“Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.”
Romans 14:4 NKJV
“Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad, therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.”
Ezekiel 34:21-22 NKJV
Beloved ones, let us judge another servant’s. And let us NOT be those who pushed aside and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with our horns, and scattered them abroad. Let us fear the judgement of the Chief Shepherd. For the Lord Jesus Christ will save His flock.
To God the Father be thanksgiving through Christ. Amen.
