Who you are in Christ.#17

If you are a follower of Jesus you are a reconciler.

2 Corinthians 5:18-19 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

So what is a reconciler? It is one who brings another into agreement or harmony.

Jesus brought us to himself and God by His death on the cross. When we become followers we are then to bring others to Jesus as we become reconcilers for Jesus. We have been entrusted with good news of Jesus are we upholding our end by sharing this good news? It really in not an option for the follower of Jesus:

Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

When God says “GO”, we are to go and do! No excuses!

So this morning we see we are reconcilers in Christ! The most important job in the world!
