40 Days of Prayer and Reflection - Lenten Moments: Be reconciled through Christ

Focusing Scripture: 2Corinthians 5:20-6:2
"So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

Theme: Be reconciled through Christ.
What if…. the solicitor on the phone or at the door offered you “peace and forgiveness, no strings attached.” We’d probably hesitate before hanging up or shutting the door—or we might think, “Yeah, right.” The fact is, Jesus is at the door, he’s on the phone, he’s offering us peace and forgiveness. Do we hang up, do we shut the
door?
