A rebuke is an expression of sharp disapproval or criticism.

We may not like it, but receiving a rebuke is good!

Wise Rebuke

These days it seems that giving a rebuke is akin to committing an unpardonable sin and receiving a rebuke is the height of humiliation. Even if it is life-saving. This is a classic part of post-modern thought that gives equal value to every opinion, no matter how crazy that opinion may actually be in God’s eyes.

However, the ability to receive a rebuke is really a virtue. One which can be trained into our kids when we find ways to lovingly reward them when they receive them with good attitudes. It is not a bribe, but rather an encouragement to be wise. Proverbs 15:31 says, “He who listens to a life giving rebuke will be at home among the wise.” Wisdom is a path to success and can often begin with how a rebuke is received.
