Our union with Jesus in worship is deeply connected to the way we honor His family. Our connection with Him in worship is deeply connected to the rest of His family. This is why He calls us to restore wounded relationships in our life, to go to the person who is offended by our words or actions. One reason is because Jesus is as committed to that offended brother as He is committed to us. He is committed to us, and we enjoy that. He enjoys the relationship with each of us, and He values us. He might say, “I enjoy the relationship with that brother too, even if you feel his charges against you are trumped up. I enjoy that brother as much as I enjoy you. I am as committed to him. I love him. And in the process of reconciliation, you might find that you have deficiencies as well, and then you will grow in love as well. You will grow in godliness in the whole process.” So because of our identification with Jesus and our union with Him we are to treat the brother in the way we treat the Lord.
