RECONCILIATION WITH GOD AND OTHERS

RECONCILIATION WITH GOD AND OTHERS People OFTEN hurt you In life That is a fact The KEY is That WHEN someone hurts us HOW are we Going to react Jesus had it RIGHT When he said: “IF your brother Sins against you Go and tell him his fault Between you And him alone” The problem is: You and I UNFORTUNATELY Sometimes don't always REACT this way We react In the moment WITH INDIGNATION AND PRIDE It happens SO QUICKLY That you and I Don't even consider Whether we have been COMPLICIT In the affair or not CHRIST RECONCILED The world To himself Without barely a peep “For if WHILE we were GOD'S enemies We were reconciled to him Through the death of his SON How much more having been reconciled Shall we be SAVED Through his LIFE” Romans 5:10 IF CHRIST Could do it For ALL of us The least we can do Is TRY to be RECONCILED with our FAMILIES And friends And our brothers and sisters In Christ Do you KNOW What Reconciliation means? It means a REUNITING A bringing together=fence-mending That is something We should ALL BE REUNITED with God; and reunited With one another As BROTHERS AND SISTERS in Christ We weren't meant to be Alienated from one another “All this Is from God Who RECONCILED us To himself Through Christ And gave us THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION” 2 Corinthians 5:18 OUR CHRIST Is the KING OF RECONCILIATION In this world He is also THE KING OF PEACE- Our King of Peace Let us all remember PEACE is NOT Winning an argument It's not inducing shame On someone Or ganging up On someone Peace is HUMILITY-GENTLENESS And an attitude of MERCY To those who have Lost their way in life We should all give And receive human dignity Toward one another Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you MY PEACE I give to you I do not GIVE to you As the world gives DO NOT Let your hearts be troubled And do not be afraid” John 14:27 Let us all Live in PEACE And dear Lord HELP US To RECONCILE to you And to each other OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS In Christ Robert P.
