November 4, 2007: Making It Right – Michael Hidalgo

Reconciliation sucks. Let’s just be honest at some point you have to admit you are wrong. Jesus sees this as an essential part of living. The downside of this is that it flies in the face of everything humans are. There are two types of people, those who want to be right and those who do not want to be wrong. Put together the battles can get fierce. The reality is without reconciliation things always escalate and get worse and worse. Jesus points toward people who are willing to reconcile at any cost. How do we live as a people willing to not always resolve everything but reconcile always. We must begin by remembering what comes first … peace before worship. Jesus exemplifies this on the cross. He brought reconciliation through his death.
