WRONG IMPRESSION
Reading: Joshua 22:10-34
NATS: This is a witness between us that the Lord is God (Joshua 22:34)
Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice (Pride and Prejudice), tells the story of a British woman from upper-middle class named Lizzy Bennet favored by Mr. Darcy, a wealthy man who subdued and complex character. The first time they met, Lizzy had the impression that Mr. Darcy is arrogant man, closed, and only think of themselves. So, when Mr. Darcy expressed love him, Lizzy rejected. Then, when Lizzy knows secrets about the many good deeds done Mr. Darcy secretly for others, Lizzy also admitted that he had been mistaken for Mr. Darcy, and eventually he was willing to marry him.
Joshua 22 records another thing about first impressions are wrong. The children of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh have built an altar near the Jordan River. When the other tribes of Israel knew it, they were angry (verses 9-12) because Allah has ordered that only He is worthy of worship and offerings can only be done in the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 20:3; Leviticus 17:8,9). They looked at the construction of the altar which was the third such rate as an act of apostasy. Fortunately, Phinehas Priest sent an envoy to investigate the reason for the three parts to build the altar (Joshua 22:13-33). They then explained to the delegation that they had built the altar, a warning will be united all the tribes of Israel recognizes the existence of God (verse 34).
Often first impressions are wrong. Nonetheless, open communication can correct any misunderstandings caused by pride and prejudice us - HDF
WE OFTEN MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION
TAKE THAT FALSE CONCLUSION
