Aim: To make a great distinction between the church and the world.
Doctrine: Trouble at home can be even more problematic than disturbance from outsiders. This is because the church is bound together in one covenant of grace, where the ''law of love'' is to trump everything.
Exegesis: Where trouble at home often manifests itself: when need (vv. 1-2), vulnerability (v. 3), and desperation (vv. 4-5) are exploited, not minimized.
Further application: How the church is to avert trouble at home: by viewing each parishioner as a redeemed soul, we will treat one another as children of the great King.
Key verse: v. 1 ''And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their Jewish brethren.''
