Today’s Scripture…
2 Corinthians 5:17-21
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.
Thoughts…
Reconciliation! What a wonderful word! Clean slate! To be forgiven, made new! When we became Christians, we were reconciled. God excepted us just as we were and made us perfect. Perfectly forgiven that it. He polished us up. He glued all our pieces back together and filled the cracks. As a matter of fact, He continues to day that today.
Things come along that shatter our world. The break us to pieces. We have no fear though. We are dearly loved by God and He is always waiting close by with the glue to put us back together. Somedays, I begin to fill a little like Humpty Dumpy! Yes, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men can’t put me together again, but the King can!
God has reconciled Himself to us through the superglue of all glues…Christ. I don’t know about you but I am excited to be stuck to God. Better yet, I am excited He is stuck to me!
