So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
– II Corinthians 5:16-21
As new creations in Christ, we have been reconciled to God. He has given us the message of reconciliation. We are His ambassadors! Take some time to thank God for reconciling us to Christ. Who in your life needs to hear this good news? Who do you need to be reconciled with in your families, or in our communities? Ask the Lord how you can be a better ambassador for Him.
Take time to pray and reflect…
