17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 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.
“If anyone is in Christ, new creation has come.”
Resurrection is not only a personal experience. It is cosmic. God is reconciling the world to Himself, and He makes us ambassadors of reconciliation.
To follow the risen Jesus is to step into broken relationships, fractured systems, and divided communities and plant seeds of peace.
Resurrection people are not just comforted; they are commissioned. We do not fix the world alone, but we join the One who already defeated death and is making all things new.
Reach out to someone you’ve pulled away from and send a simple message: “Thinking of you today. Hope you’re well.” (or something similar)
God of new creation, reconcile my heart to Yours. Teach me to be a peacemaker, not avoiding conflict, but bringing Your love into it. Amen.
