Selwyn continues to examine this verse, 2 Corinthians 5:19: ” …  God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.”

I don’t have much to add -  Jesus has given us the task to spread His message of reconciliation – no additional words are required to clarify this commitment. 

This statement of Selwyn’s, I feel, is worth thinking about: “The message we proclaim verbally, the ministry has to come through us vitally. In the message we speak, in the ministry we do – we do what Jesus did and take the sufferings of men and women and make them our own.” 

Well, perhaps I can briefly summarise: Our lives, what we do – reflect the honesty of our words!

Do you agree?
