Our review of the way the case in Corinth was handled has helped us to see Jehovah's love, righteousness, and justice in action. (Psalm 33:5) Are you not moved to give our God added praise? After all, we are sinners-every one of us- and we need his forgiveness. Each of us has reason to be grateful to Jehovah for the ransom, which makes forgiveness possible. How comforting, how reassuring, to know that Jehovah truly loves his people and wants the best for them!
What, then, about handling the case of wrongdoing today? How can congregation elders reflect Jehovah's desire to lead a wrongdoer to repentance? How should the congregation react when the elders decide to remove or to reinstate a person? These questions will be discussed in the following articles.
