Good News

"For if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come. All of this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them.
And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. " (2 Cor. 5:17-19)

People are being crushed under the weight of their sins. What would happen if they understood God's message of reconciliation? Is it that they just don't understand, or is it that no one has told them? God has committed to us the message of reconciliation. Do we communicate that God is reconciling the world to himself, or do we communicate that the world better get its act together before God gets too mad. God has commited to us the message of reconciliation. Are we good stewards of that message?
