"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. "

Proverbs 27:17

I don't think the iron will feel good when it's being sharpened. There will be friction, heat, rubbing, tearing off, breaking....We are not always happy, we are not just a social group for fun.And unhappy things WILL happen, and will DEFINITLY happen. We are all sinners, i mean it for myself. We still have something imperfect inourselves. Unless we are not sharing our lives with each other, not deep enoughto touch each others' weak points, not burdened enough to share others'sorrow and sadness, only keep on a superficial and shallow relationship,then we will have no conflict, no sharing, we can always joke aroundand be free and happy.

But, we are not like that. We are in a Christian group for lives sharing, not only for fun. We share our laughter , and we share our problem.We are brothers and sisters in Christ, and it means, "one day brothersand sisters, forever brothers and sisters", it means eternally. That's mybelief. "Bros and sis" are not just some jargons.I remember one of my bros said it before, if Jesus said "only the sick needs the doctor", then the church is the big hospital. Bible said it very clearly:Can anyone say he/she got nothing wrong at all? Even it happens to have nothing wrong, how many times did Jesus told usto forgive each other?

If it's such a easy thing to forgive, Jesus does not need to die.
