Brothers and Sisters 😊
📖 In Second Corinthians chapter 5 today we see a myriad of Gospel given gifts that are fully worthy of sharing frequently with both the world and the church (redemption, identity, transformation, life-purpose, freedom, and salvation)…
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation, the old has passed away and behold the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ has reconciled us to Himself, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, so that by His grace we might bring many others to Him” (vs 17-18).
Q. Does anyone else have an overwhelming sense of awe and amazement at the idea that God is… “Entrusting His message of reconciliation to us”, and has appointed us as… “Royal ambassadors for Christ”?
🙏 Heavenly Father I confess my many times of weakness and failure to joyfully point others to Jesus, boldly relay the good news of the Gospel, and live up to the all-important moment to moment mission you have given to sow seeds of truth for your glory – Please help us all surrender daily to your calling, and let the love of Christ control and compel us to magnify the Lord at all times and exalt your great name together!
🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today for the diamond-like truths and beauty of the Gospel, and for your gracious & merciful great exchange on our behalf (our sin for your righteousness) – May these realities ignite and fuel us to live a zealous life of evangelistic obedience, and consistent love toward the saved and the lost…
✝️ “For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”
2 Corinthians 5:21
