Nov.10.00: Light For The Day - "Reconcile To Christ"  -- 1 Timothy 2:5,6 (NLT) "For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. 6 He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that  God gave to the world at the proper time." ----------------- Dear Father, I cannot read this passage of Scripture without being awed at the fact that - You, Almighty God, were in Christ As He was born in a manger As He died on that cross, As He arose from the dead. To think that I can be reconciled to You,  the great God of the Universe, is too much to  comprehend. I thank You, God, for reconciling me unto Yourself. Help me to be a man that causes people to be reconciled to each other. Help me in the world in which I live to share the fact that Christ can reconcile people unto Himself, and that reconciliation will bring Peace on earth and goodwill toward men! In Jesus' Name, Amen. -- Rev. Billy Zeoli  ---------------- -- 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 (NLI) "16 So we have stopped evaluating others by what the world thinks about them. Once I mistakenly thought of Christ that way, as though he were merely a human being. How differently I think about him now!  17 What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun! 18 All this newness of life is from God, who brought us back to himself through what Christ did.  And God has given us the task of reconciling  people to him.  19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others.  20 We are Christ’s ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you. We urge you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, Be reconciled to God! 21 For God made Christ, who never sinned,  to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ."
