THE SEED
“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation…” 2 Corinthians 5:18
A significant number of us have been deserted, sold out or mishandled. Moves made against us left scars on our spirits, persistent resentment, or deep harshness. Those offenses killed our genuine peace of mind. We have a Saviour that we deserted. We abandoned our faith to pursue lesser things. We injured Him and stored up injustice against Him. Despite this, He exhausted Himself of all heavenly royalty and lowered Himself to the mark of death on the cross… even while we were still sinners. Whenever we go to him for forgiveness, He opened His arms and give us access to His grace. He accommodated us to God. He picked forgiveness, washed away the transgressions of the past, and wouldn’t recall them any longer. He gave us the ministry of reconciliation. He mended our wrong relationship with the Father, so we can show others the way back to Him. Through Christ, our wrong associations with others can be healed as well. He enables us to pardon, giving us the ability to rise and live freely. He breaks the extremely tight grips of outrage and harshness. He alone brings the hope and healing, the reconciliation and restoration, the opportunity, and a future. He ministered reconciliation and charges us to do likewise.
PRAYER
Father Lord give me the ministry of reconciliation that I may live in peace with all men as Christ did. Amen.
