9/1/2010 - 2 Cor. 5:18-20 The Reconcilers

Posted in Unspecified

Scripture: 2 Cor. 5:18-20 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. ¹⁹ For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. ²⁰ So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

Observation: What an incredible thought: we have the job of reconciling people back to their creator. How often do we fail to even recognize that we are called to do this. How different we would live every day if we understood that God is, daily, making His appeal through us.

Application: I just don't live like this often enough. I want to live as Christ's ambassador and let Him make His appeal through me but, so often, I don't. I don't have enough non-christian friends. I don't do enough to make them. I need to live differently.

Prayer: LORD help!! Show me how you want me to be an ambassador for You.
