Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17–21
“If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation.”
Reconciliation is not sentimental. It is costly. It requires transformation.
Paul reminds us that God has entrusted this ministry to us. Not to the powerful alone. Not to clergy only. To all of us.
We are agents of a new creation.
This begins personally—allowing Christ to reshape our grudges, our
assumptions, our defensiveness. But it
does not end there. It extends
outward—into families, churches, neighborhoods, civic life.
Reconciliation does not erase truth. It insists on it. But truth is spoken for healing, not
humiliation.
Imagine a church known less for what it opposes and more for how it
reconciles.
New creation is already unfolding. Lent helps us participate rather than resist.
Reflection Questions:
- Where do I resist becoming new?
- Who needs to hear reconciliation
from me?
- How can I embody healing without
avoiding truth?
