How to deal with difficult people? It can make people uncomfortable in a modern-day social setting. If you fail to see the goal of the passage, you will miss the message. The goal is reconciliation. You will notice that before and after Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus is teaching about forgiveness. You pay attention to Jesus' advice before you learn to deal with difficult people.

Who are the difficult people, according to Jesus? Difficult people are those whose actions and behaviors cause others to go away from God and damage the faith community. We may call such difficult people as sinners or those not in full communion with God and the faith community.

Jesus advocates a three-step process to deal with such difficult people. It is a deliberate and intentional process, wherein the affected (offended) takes the initiative, not the offender.
