Shabbat Shalom Achim (brothers and sisters in Hebrew)

This lesson is part of the Unity in the Assembly series which has a goal in encouraging and teaching believers in exhorting and edifying each other since we are one body in Yahushua HaMashiach (Yeshua the Messiah).

One of the ways we can exhort and edify each other is through righteous judgment/right-ruling. This is contrary to what many of us have learned when we were taught that we are ‘Not to Judge Others’. This goes against the Word of YHWH. There is a right way of judging others and a wrong way of judging others. One lifts up and builds while the other takes down and destroys the Assembly.

Let us make sure that we strive to have Unity in the Assembly. We glorify and honor YHWH when we do.

יברכך יהוה וישׁמרך׃
יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחנך׃
ישׂא יהוה פניו אליך וישׂם לך שׁלום׃

YHWH will kneel before you presenting gifts and will guard you with a hedge of protection,
YHWH will illuminate the wholeness of his being toward you bringing order and he will beautify you,
YHWH will lift up his wholeness of being and look upon you and he will set in place all you need to be whole and complete (Numbers 6:24-26)

Have a blessed Shabbat.

Shalom,

Dirk
