Bringing Reconciliation through Ambassadors
Jan 13, 2026
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.
2 Corinthians 5:19-20 (NIV)
Today's scripture reminds us that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. It communicates the essence of forgiveness and reconciliation that God offers us, despite our unworthiness and all the wrongdoings we're guilty of. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the enormity of this unconditional love and mercy our Lord possesses for us.
God chose to resolve this separation created by sin through Jesus Christ. He took our burdens upon Himself, bore our sins, and bestowed us with His righteousness. This beautiful exchange is beyond human comprehension and deserves our heartfelt gratitude.
We are also reminded that we have been entrusted with the message of reconciliation. As ambassadors of Christ, we are charged with the responsibility of sharing this wonderful news to the world. Our lives should paint a picture of God's love and redemption to those around us. By doing so, we invite others into the loving embrace of our Savior.
Today’s Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the message of reconciliation given to us through Christ. Help us, Lord, to truly grasp the depth of your love and forgiveness. Inspire us to live as effective ambassadors for Christ, sharing the Good News with others. Guide us as we strive to exemplify your love in our actions and words. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
