Commands of Christ

Command 6 Part 1: Be Reconciled (video)

“So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God.”
Matthew 5:23-24 (NLT2)

In part 1 you will learn that pride and anger will destroy any dreams of reconciliation in any relationship. But our Lord commands that a true follower will not and cannot let anything stop them from rebuilding relationships. Humility is the only path that will bring true reconciliation and Christ shows us the way.

Commands of Christ

Command 6 Part 2: Be Reconciled, The Steps of Reconciliation (video)

“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”
2 Corinthians 5:19 NKJV

The perfect God took the initiative to restore fellowship with angry, rebellious mankind
Jesus Christ (God the Son) left heaven and entered the world and took upon Himself all our sin, when He had none

“In other words, God was using Christ to restore his relationship with humanity. He didn’t hold people’s faults against them, and he has given us this message of restored relationships to tell others.” 2 Corinthians 5:19 GW

We must take the similar steps to restore our broken relationships with Him and the people around us.
