Reconciliation...a New Creation

~~~Fourth Sunday of Lent~~~

 

Joshua 5:9A, 10-12~~Psalm 34~~2 Corinthians 5: 17-21~~Luke 15:1-3, 11-32

 

 

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

The Lord removes the negative, delivers you from fear...
he makes all things new.

"Whoever is in Christ is a new creation:
the old things have passed away;
behold, new things have come."

"...given us the ministry of reconciliation..."

"...We implore you on behalf of Christ,
be reconciled to God..."

 

If you do not accomplish anything else this Lent,

examine your heart and be fully reconciled with God.

If you are reconciled with God you can

then extend the same reconciliation to others.

Perhaps it is a relative, a neighbor, or a friend that

you can extend your words of forgiveness.

 

Reconciliation is the healing of the heart.

Reconciliation is accepting the shortcomings of another.

Reconciliation can be the greatest gift of joy you can give a loved one.

 

Too many people wait until a loved one is on their death bed

before they consider reaching out in reconciliation.

 

Lent is a wonderful time for reconciliation between yourself and God

and yourself and others.

 

It is through the goodness of God that we have been reconciled with him.

Be Reconciled!
