MInistry of Reconciliation

 

    There are a lot of "ministries", but it all comes down to living a life like Jesus.  Put your sights on heaven, avoid drama here, and pray.  The Holy Spirit will guide you on how to proceed with people.  He speaks through your conscience.  Body and soul are united as one, so they need to work as one.

    The ministry of reconciliation is important.  Any ministry you do has no impact if you do not have relationships with people.  The first and most powerful relationship is with Jesus (God Trinity).  Then you need to mend any broken relationships that you have.  Then it comes to respect and maintenance after that.

    Always keep your eyes on Heaven so that life on earth does not swallow you up.  Live faithfully, so that your eyes don't trust everything that they see.  We rarely see everything that we need to see to be able to trust anything fully.  Walking by faith gives you confidence to face whatever comes your way.

    Live today like it is your last.  Is there anyone you need to make amends with?  Is there anyone who has hurt you that you need to address?  The longer you try to ignore, pretend, or avoid, the harder it is to address.  Mended relationships reveal the relationship you have with Jesus.  The more you forgive, the more you are forgiven.  Live in a way that will make God proud.

    We will all face judgment day one day.  Do you want to face it with a clear conscience?  If you die holding a grudge, then that will be accounted for on judgment day.  Jesus compels love.  His life and resurrection gave us the ability to reconcile.  Do you want to waste that gift?  

    It concludes that Jesus died for us, so that we can live for Him.  The time of living in the worldly perspective has gone.  We are a new creation and need to live as one.  The old ways have passed.  Now we live a reconciled life.  We are now his ambassadors to the world.  Are are to show the world God's righteousness.
