Sunday Reflection (March 27, 2022)

Despite our hostility toward God and one another, God has taken the initiative,
through Jesus Christ, to reconcile us and the world to God (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). This is indeed Good News! From God’s perspective, reconciliation has already been accomplished, but from our perspective, it is a different story. We still experience the brokenness of relationships and the brokenness of this world, yet into this brokenness, we have been chosen to represent Christ to the Word as Ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:18-21).

Where there is pain and brokenness, we make amends and bring healing because we are involved in the ministry of reconciliation. This process of reconciliation is difficult and certainly takes time, yet as ambassadors of God, we bring peace, reconciliation, love, and forgiveness to the human experience. We have, indeed, been entrusted with something special: The ministry of reconciliation!
