BACK IN PLACE

 

BACK IN PLACE

 

Galatians 6:1-2 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 

 

I’ve never had a joint out of socket myself, but I remember a young man brought to the ER with his shoulder dislocated from sliding into home plate.

  His shoulder was misshaped. His arm hung useless and he was in extreme pain. When the doctor placed his foot in the young man’s armpit and pushed while pulling on his arm with all his strength, the young man fainted.

  When he aroused a few moments later he could use his arm and the pain was mostly gone.

  When a Christian is “out of place”, disjointed, because of sin it up to the rest of us to go to the person in love to help them get back in place. This even though it may hurt at the time.
