Communion “ The Health of the Church ”

Restoring a fallen brother “ This punishment on such an individual by the majority is enough for him ” 2 Corinthians 2:9

What Happened?  It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, the kind of immorality that is not permitted even among the Gentiles …  1 Corinthians 5:1-3

A Defiled Marriage  … someone is cohabiting with his father ’ s wife. And you are proud! Shouldn ’ t you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did this from among you?

Stern Discipline  Hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

Proud of our Church?  Your boasting is not good. Don ’ t you know that a little yeast affects the whole batch of dough? Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough - you are, in fact, without yeast.

2 Corinthians 2:3-11  And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours. For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not to make you sad, but to let you know the love that I have especially for you.

 But if anyone has caused sadness, he has not saddened me alone, but to some extent (not to exaggerate) he has saddened all of you as well. This punishment on such an individual by the majority is enough for him, so that now instead you should rather forgive and comfort him. This will keep him from being overwhelmed by excessive grief to the point of despair.

 Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him. For this reason also I wrote you: to test you to see if you are obedient in everything. If you forgive anyone for anything, I also forgive him - for indeed what I have forgiven (if I have forgiven anything) I did so for you in the presence of Christ, so that we may not be exploited by Satan (for we are not ignorant of his schemes).

The real Point of Discipline  “ The focus of my letter wasn ’ t on punishing the offender but on getting you to take responsibility for the health of the church. So if you forgive him, I forgive him. ”
