Get it? Got it? Good!

"Those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view...Christ...gave us the ministry of reconciliation:  God is reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’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." ~ 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 ~

Let's break this down.

 

1. We should no longer live for our own passions and pleasures, instead live for Christ. And what is the essence of Christ? Everything he did, he did for others. Got it? Good. No more self!

 

2. We should not judge or condemn people by the way they look, what they have or don't have, or how they act. Instead we should look at people through the eyes of Christ. And how did Christ see people? He was a man of great sorrow, with a hurting heart for the lost, He loved people. He said, I did not come to condemn, but to save. Got it? Good. No more judging!

 

3. We are ministers of reconciliation...Faith comes from hearing, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ...and how can they hear unless someone preaches it?  We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors. So act like it, people are watching you. Got it? Good. Be holy & share Christ!
