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 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. 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 and condemn people by the way they
look, what they have or don't have, or how they act. Instead 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 the message, 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!
