CM Update 10/11/09

2 Corinthians 5:20 - Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

Sometimes sharing the good news with people can feel like we are faith pushers. And, many who hear the good news preached feel like they are hearing yet another sales pitch in this world of many salesmen. This false perception can make sharing our faith difficult, so we need to know the true reality of 2 Cor 5:20. In actuality, it is not you or I who wants to convince others of the good news, it is Christ Jesus, Himself. We implore others on Jesus' behalf. He is the One who pleads for men, women, and children to be reconciled to God. We get to pass on this good news, so don't ever feel bad about imploring people to hear.

In Jesus,
Phil
