Ministry of reconciliation
It is probably in my top five favorite scripture passages in the whole Bible. We are reading it this Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Lent. It comes up every three years. It is from 2 Corinthians.
"So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!"
It is the middle of Lent, but this verse makes me feel like it is Easter: the eighth day of creation. It is the middle of Lent, but I want to go to the tomb and mistake Jesus for the gardener, planting seeds of the new creation.
