💁🏻 Concept: Reconciliation
Reconciliation is God’s gracious act of removing enmity and restoring fellowship between sinful humanity and Himself. Because of our sin, we stood as enemies of God, deserving His holy wrath. Yet through Christ’s atoning death, God initiated peace. This reconciliation is not mutual compromise, but a divine gift secured by the blood of His Son. Through Christ, we are not only restored to God, but also called to live at peace with others and to proclaim this ministry of reconciliation to the world.

Help me to seek peace, and the wisdom to live with a clear conscience. Use me as Your messenger of reconciliation so that others may see Christ in me and be drawn to the peace that only He can give. In Jesus’ name, amen.
