Theme: "The reconciliation of God with his people" Text: 2 Corinthians 5:19
19. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, imputing not their trespasses unto men, and he hath put in us the word of reconciliation.
Let's remember:
Obviously in Christ there is God; as if to say, God drew from his own person the fundamentals of peace and reconciliation. Nowhere else and in no other character than in God. Only God could be the repository of peace and reconciliation. Humans cannot bring reconciliation because in Man there is no guarantee of fidelity. Therefore, let us strive to be in Christ because if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. The old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. When we are in Christ, we will move forward with Him under His supervision and guidance. It will help us move in the right direction; he will instruct us to maintain reconciliation with him but also with our neighbour. For all of this comes from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Yes, we carry out this ministry of reconciliation in order to walk in the path traced by God. Christ was able to do it, so he passed the baton to us to perpetuate the work he had started, knowing that he is always at the helm, supporting us and soothing our hearts. Since we serve as ambassadors for Christ, then let's be reconciled to God. Excellent Friday and good start into the weekend. Amen Alain Louz.-
