If you’re following along with the Verve Bible Reading Plan, we read II Cor 5 today. This chapter really covers a lot of ground.
It not only speaks to those who are followers of Jesus, by saying - Everything is different now! You have a new job now, to bring the message of reconciliation to a world at odds with God. This comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world square with himself through Jesus, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. It also speaks to those who are not followers of Jesus, by saying - God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God. We're all walking dead and don't even know it, but, Jesus took on death so we can live. So no matter what we have done or how far we seem to be from God, he is right here next to us just waiting for us with open arms. He’s already completed all the work, we just need to turn to him.
If you’re not right with God, turn to him, he’s already made it right and is just waiting to hear from you.
